hero-top-right-05Amazon have just announced that the large screen version of their wireless reading devices, the Kindle DX, will from the 19th January 2010 be available to buy with global wireless.

This now puts it into the same market as it’s smaller brother, the Amazon Kindle 2, in so much as it has the added ability to conveniently download content in well over one thousand countries across the globe.

Where it differs from the Kindle 2 is in it’s screen size. I am the first to admit the Kindle DX does not touch it’s smaller stable mate for portability, but when it comes to reading the near ten inch, e-ink screen (of the DX) nocks spots of it’s little brother. Reading is oh so simple and much closer to the ‘real thing’, not because of the electronic paper display as that technology is used on both models, but because of the display size, near 1:1 reproduction of A4, and it’s ability to auto rotate, making it far easy to read the full-width of newspapers, magazines and office documents such as maps and graphs plus tables and even Web pages on this model.

The large memory, capable of storing about 3,500 novels, has always made the DX ideal for office and field applications and so the global aspect added to it’s vast array of features only further enhances it as the perfect business users choice of wireless reading devices.

Amazon have stated that the Kindle DX with added global wireless capability, is immediately available to pre-order from today (01/07/2010), for a bargain $489, and will be shipped on a first come first served basis from January 19. If you are in the market to buy an ebook reader then the DX wireless reading devices are worth consideration.

Many people enjoy reading a book as their hobby. They want the feel of having a book by their hand reading the verses and paragraphs of words that spark their imagination. However, a new digital revolution is making book readers re think the ways that we can enjoy a good read. Through the recent invention of digital book readers, which are gaining rapidly in popularity, people can enjoy reading a book through digital means even without the use of laptop and computer.Cooler line-up-large

Digital book readers are a direct off shoot of the e book revolution. E books became popular because of the ease in which you can store and transport a large amount of reading materials in a small amount of digital space. However, the main advantage of using a digital book reader over reading an e book in your computer is portability. Before, you can only read an e book when you have your laptop with you or if you boot up your personal computer. However, if you did not take your laptop with you or if you are not with in the confines of your own home, you can not have access to your beloved e books. Through the use of a reliable digital book reader, you can have access to your e books even if you are on the go.

Other options that digital book readers give you that normal books can not is letting you skip the pages and jump right to the page or chapter that you want to read. For example, you want to go to the end of the chapter or you have a specific page in mind that you want to read, with a simple click on the controls, you can go there without much trouble. An ordinary book would not allow you to do this since you do not have control over the number of pages that you can flip

Another advantage that a digital book reader has over an ordinary book is that you can store plenty of books straight onto the digital book reader large, and often expandable memory. For example, you want to carry 25 volumes of encyclopedia over to another person’s house, you only need to store the files in the digital book readers memory and then carry the digital book reader to where you are going. Imagine what you would have to do when you have to carry the original compilations with you.

Also, some of the newer digital book readers contain different features that will help you in different ways. Some have pre installed games that can give you a source of entertainment when ever you decide to take a break from reading. Some even have built in language translators and most all digital book readers will play mp3/4 files that make them very handy when you are on the move.
