Compared to its predecessor, the new Kindle DX boasts increased storage to hold approximately 3,500 books digitally. It also features a wider 9.7 inch screen compared to the 6 inch screen of Kindle 2, and 3G wireless network. Most importantly, Kindle DX now fully supports PDF format which should resolve the problem the earlier Kindle version that users need to convert the file before you could use read the PDF.

According to Jess Bezos, the CEO of Amazon, PDF documents will definitely look beautiful on Kindle DX and users will never have to pan, to zoom, or to scroll when they read the documents. If users want to go to widescreen mode, they just rotate the device.

While Kindle DX is a very impressive product and has had many upgrades since the last version, Kindle 2, many users are upset with the fact that Amazon would not exchange their product for the new improved version of Kindle. Some who have been lucky and ordered it within the 30-day return policy from Amazon, have been returning the old version, Kindle 2, and pre-ordering for the new enhanced version, Kindle DX, while others who have bought the Kindle 2 months ago, have had no luck but to stay with their Kindle 2 system.

Kindle DX will in fact, change the way we work and learn, since its main focus is in the education section. Newspaper companies are also hopeful that the Kindle DX will “rekindle” and save the dying world of print media, save paper and also help out the environment.

Kindle DX is priced at $489 and will be available this summer.
