Last week I got my new KindleDX and I really like it (first day: Lord of the Rings – Book 1 read…). The reading quality is amazing. I tried to read with my room lights on and in daylight, there is no problem with reflexions or light situations where reading an LCD notebook is impossible. The Global Wireless feature is usable but in Austria it is a bit slow. The roaming feature of the built-in AT&T mobile connection often chooses the slowest connection in my area (3G is available).

The new PDF feature is a very nice thing. I put all my stuff for my master thesis on my Kindle to read while on train, bus or at university. In Kindle documents it is possible to make annotations but in PDF documents it is not possible for reasons unknown. If Amazon added this feature, the Kindle would be a perfect business device for reading contracts or documents (silent feature request).

The battery last very long, I played around the whole weekend and my battery is at 75% (wireless off). This week I will try documents with more pictures to test the quality of the display for software design and concept papers. I going to post some information on that later this week.
