Advanced Design Sleek & Trim Kindle
DX is as thin as most magazines. Just over a third of an inch in
profile, you'll find Kindle DX fits perfectly in your hands. Beautiful Large Display Kindle
DX's large display is ideal for a broad range of reading material,
including graphic-rich books, PDFs, newspapers, magazines, and blogs.
Kindle DX's display is two and a half times the size of the Kindle
display. Whether you're reading the latest bestseller or a financial
report, text and images are amazingly sharp on the 9.7" screen. Auto-Rotating Screen By simply turning the device, you can immediately see full-width landscape views of maps, graphs, tables and Web pages. Built-In PDF Reader Unload
the loose documents from your briefcase or backpack, and put them all
on Kindle DX. From neighborhood newsletters to financial statements to
case studies and product manuals--you can take them all with you on
Kindle DX. Native PDF support allows you to carry and read all of your
personal and professional documents on the go. With Amazon's Whispernet
service, you can send your documents directly to your Kindle DX and
read them anytime, anywhere. Some features such as annotations and
read-to-me are not currently supported for PDF. You can magnify PDFs by
viewing them in landscape mode. 5-Way Controller Kindle
DX has an easy-to-use 5-way controller, enabling precise on-screen
navigation for selecting text to highlight or looking up words. Simple to Use, No Computer Required Kindle DX is completely wireless and ready to use right out of the box--no setup, no cables, no computer required. Long Battery Life Long Battery Life - Read for Days Without Recharging With
Kindle DX's long battery life, you can read on a single charge for up
to 4 days with wireless on. Turn wireless off and read for up to 2
weeks. Battery life will vary based on wireless usage, such as shopping
the Kindle Store and downloading content. In low coverage areas or in
1xRTT only coverage, wireless usage will consume battery power more
quickly. Charge via USB Kindle DX supports
wall charging via the included Kindle DX power adapter, and charging
from your computer via the included USB 2.0 cable. Kindle DX fully
charges in approximately 4 hours. Wireless Access with Whispernet Fast 3G Network - Get Books in Under 60 Seconds Whispernet

high-speed (3G) data network to enable you to wirelessly search,
discover, and download content on the go. Your books and periodicals
are delivered via Whispernet in less than 60 seconds. And
unlike Wi-Fi, you never have to hunt for a hotspot. Download times can
vary based on wireless coverage strength and file size. National Wireless Coverage Kindle
DX's national coverage includes cities and areas in all 50 states,
enabling wireless downloads of books, newspapers, magazines, and blogs.
Check our wireless coverage map for availability. No Wireless Bills No
monthly wireless bills, data plans, or commitments. Amazon pays for
Kindle DX's wireless connectivity so you won't see a wireless bill.
There is no wireless setup--you are ready to shop, purchase and read
right out of the box. See Wireless Terms and Conditions. Carry Your Library in a Profile As Thin As a Magazine Holds Up To 3,500 Books The
ultimate travel companion, Kindle DX is as thin as a magazine and holds
up to 3,500 books, newspapers, magazines, and documents. No longer pick
and choose which books fit in your carry-on. Now you can always have
your personal and professional libraries with you. Automatic Library Backup: Re-download Your Books for Free Books

book library at Amazon.com. You can wirelessly re-download books
available in your library for free. This allows you to make room for
new titles on your Kindle DX. We even back up your last page read and
annotations. Please see more information about your library content. Enhanced Reading Paper-Like Screen Utilizing the latest in electronic-ink
display technology, Kindle DX provides a crisp black-and-white 9.7-inch
diagonal screen with the same appearance and readability of printed
paper. Sharp and natural with no glare or backlight, reading on Kindle
DX is nothing like reading from a computer screen. Those who see it for
the first time always do a double-take. The screen works using ink,
just like books and newspapers, but displays the ink particles
electronically. And unlike a laptop or smart phone, Kindle DX never
gets warm so you can comfortably read as long as you like. Sharp Display of Images and Photos Kindle DX's high-resolution screen boasts 16 shades of gray, so images and photos are sharp and clear. Full Image Zoom Whether
you prefer reading in portrait or landscape mode, images and photos
display crisply on Kindle DX and can be zoomed to the full size of the
9.7" screen. Read in Sunlight With No Glare Kindle
DX's screen reflects light like ordinary paper and uses no
backlighting, eliminating the glare associated with other electronic
displays. As a result, Kindle DX can be read as easily in bright
sunlight as in your living room. Adjustable Text Size Kindle
DX has six adjustable font sizes to suit your reading preference. You
can increase the text size of your favorite book or periodical with the
push of a button. If your eyes tire, simply increase the font size and
continue reading comfortably. Now every book in your library can be
large print. Read-to-Me Feature Kindle DX
can read to you. With its Text-to-Speech feature, Kindle DX can read
books, blogs, magazines, and newspapers out loud to you, unless the
book's rights holder made the feature unavailable. You can switch back
and forth between reading and listening, and your spot is automatically
saved. Pages automatically turn while the content is being read, so you
can listen hands-free. You can speed up or slow down the reading speeds
or choose a male or female voice. In the middle of a great book or
article but have to jump in the car? Simply turn on Text-to-Speech and
listen on the go. Enhanced Newspaper Reading Experience With
Kindle DX's large display, reading newspapers is more enjoyable than
ever. The 5-way controller lets you quickly flip between articles,
making it fast and easy to browse and read the morning paper. Want to
remember the article you just read? Clip and save entire articles for
later reading with a single click. Bookmarks and Annotations By
using the QWERTY keyboard, you can add annotations to text, just like
you might write in the margins of a book. And because it is digital,
you can edit, delete, and export your notes. Using the 5-way
controller, you can highlight and clip key passages and bookmark pages
for future use. You'll never need to bookmark your last place in the
book, because Kindle DX remembers for you and always opens to the last
page you read. Personal Document Service Via Whispernet Kindle
DX makes it easy to take your personal documents with you, eliminating
the need to print. Each Kindle has a unique and customizable e-mail
address. You can set your unique email address on your Manage Your Kindle
page. This allows you and your approved contacts to e-mail Word, PDF
documents, and pictures wirelessly to your Kindle for a small fee--see details.
Kindle supports wireless delivery of unprotected Microsoft Word, PDF,
HTML, TXT, RTF, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, PRC and MOBI files. In addition,
DOCX conversion is supported as an experimental feature.
If you would like to download your personal documents for free, or if
you are not in a wireless area, you can send attachments to
"name"@free.kindle.com to be converted and e-mailed to your computer at
the e-mail address associated with your Amazon.com account login. You
can then transfer the document to your Kindle using your USB
connection. For example, if your Kindle email address is
Jay@Kindle.com, send your attachments to Jay@free.kindle.com.
