Love my DX but now

Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2017

Verified Purchase

Love my DX but now, after almost 10 years of near daily usage and limping along on a fading battery for the past few the screen has died.
Bought a PaperWhite and for all its technical advances it has a ridiculously tiny page size - I might as well read on my phone.
AMAZON - bring back an updated DX please!
Or even the original as long as the parts are new - this thing changed my life.

UPGRADE THE DX

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2017

Verified Purchase

The Kindle DX is the best Kindle Amazon ever put out. The screen is crystal clear, the size is much closer to a real book, it has multiple font sizing, it's easy to navigate, it has wireless, it can read to you out loud. Amazon, Have you forgotten your wonderful DX? you NEED to upgrade it! Give the DX an even larger screen size, Give the DX a longer battery life, Give the DX more storage capacity, Give the DX color, Give the DX more fonts and font size choices {although, it already does have quite a few}, Give the DX software upgrades! PLEASE DON'T ABANDON OR FORGET THE DX!!! WE WANT IT BETTER AND BIGGER!!

Perfect in everyway, except its age.

Amazon, please, I know you're a publicly traded business, and the bottom line is important. But please, for the love of all that is right, holy, and good in the world, update this thing.

I love mine. Absolutely love it. But its older now. The battery isn't as strong, its a bit slow, and I am envious of newer Kindles with their touch screens and backlights. Bring the DX back. Please. We beg you. I don't need a Fire tablet. I don't want to read an LCD screen. I need good, clear, beautiful e-ink. I can't read on a normal Kindle, its screen is as small as a square of toilet paper. What happens when mine finally dies? What will I do? What can I do? Let me throw my money at you Amazon.

Still relevant in Mid-2018 if you like Hard-Cover Sized pages and don't need a backlight!

Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2018

So it's July 2018, and I'm still using my Kindle DX. The battery is still holding strong after 9 years, and I'm still loving the huge screen that is the side of a hardback. If this had a backlight, I'd say this is still a perfect device. At some point, I intend to upgrade to an Oasis Gen 2 (7in compared to this 9.8in), but this is honestly still one of the best readers out there. I also found this to be the only device that was practical for reading anything in PDF Format. The size of the screen allows oddly shaped (cropped or sized) PDF's to be displayed really well. If you don't mind a 1 second page turn and the flash (inverse/redraw), this is still a great device for large text.

UPDATE and keep out DX readers!!!

Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2018

Verified Purchase

I am adding my voice to the pleas for an updated KindleDX. My third was purchased in 2014 and I am holding my breath that it keeps plugging away. It is perfect for my needs, big enough so I won't lose it (I had a small one commit suicide by jumping into the bath!). Many people ask about it as they like the size, holds more books, can access new books when I am traveling out of the country........my likes go on and on! PLEASE give us a new one! From an addicted bookworm!

The wonderful Kindle DX

Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2017

I would love to see this wonderful kindle DX come back on the market again. It is the size of a hardback book and the fact this is also a talking book is so great. I have two serious eye problems, when my eyes get tired, I can have either a male or female read for me. My husband talked me into getting this e-reader because of my eyes. I do not know what I would do without it. I would love to be able to get another one, in case something happens to this one!

The best e-reader

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2018

The book size page is tremendous. I agree with all the other comments on "please bring back the DX" I do wear them out after a couple of years (I wonder privately if the 3,000 books it can hold is a con - I have a thousand, and I don't think the memory can cope).
I buy new ones on ebay when several of them surface, but they are few and far between now.
I don't know what I'll do if my grey kindle expires!!
Please bring them back, amazon. Many of your customers are like me - they need the larger type face, and the bigger screen to actually read on. Why would I want a book reader the same size as a phone? Its all about the reading experience, and the DX brings books to life.

Still Working Fine In Late 2017! Battery Battery Less Than New But Enough For My Use, Perfect In 2011 For My Technical Library

Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2017

Verified Purchase

I recently pulled out my old Kindle DX 9.7in. It still works fine! It's my first kindle and it was so cool when I got it in 2011. I could carry my whole technical library with me in this (not so) small device. Why the big one? In that generation the drawings in technical books didn't zoom and were often too small on the smaller kindle screens. Also most of the technical books were trade-book size which this more closely matches. In 2011 kindle and kindle like devices were more or less an afterthought for publishers, not a main target audience.

Battery life isn't like I recall from when new but it still lasts more than a full day of use which is all that matters to me since I can charge it overnight every night.

For being a great device in 2011 when I got it and still working today I'm giving my Kindle DX 5 stars
