One review said that there was too much text on a page. And they prefered flipping through pages vs. scanning a large page where their eyes might get lost.

I think the biggest advantage is to see full size PDF files without having to resize or pan. Maybe the regular Kindle is better for books with lots of pages, and the Kindle DX for newspapers and technical documents with lots of illustrations.

Amazon Kindle DX

Dear Customers, Today, we are excited to introduce Kindle 2 the next generation of our wireless reading device.Since launching the original Kindle a little over a year ago, the customer response has far surpassed our highest hopes and we re grateful and appreciative for that. More people are reading more books, newspapers, and blogs on Kindle sooner than we ever imagined.We kept everything readers love about the original Kindle the convenience of reading what you want, when you want it, the immediacy of getting books wirelessly delivered in less than 60 seconds, and Kindle s ability to disappear in your hands so you can get lost in the author s words. We chose the same 3G wireless technology used in advanced cell phones, so you never need to locate a Wi-Fi hotspot. But unlike cell phones, there are no monthly wireless bills, no service or data plans, and no yearly contracts. There is no software to install and no syncing required. Improved battery life means you can read up to four days on a single charge. Its new, streamlined design makes Kindle 2 as thin as a typical magazine and lighter than a paperback. We added more storage, allowing you to carry over 1,500 titles. An advanced display provides even crisper images and clear text for an improved book-like reading experience. Our favorite new Text-to-Speech feature means Kindle can read every book, blog, magazine, and newspaper out loud to you.At Amazon, we ve always been obsessed with selection, and we know that even the best reading device would be useless without the books you want to read. Today, the Kindle Store has more than 230,000 books, including 103 of the 112 New York Times Best Sellers, plus top newspapers, magazines, and blogs. We added over 40,000 new titles in just the last three months. Our vision is to have every book ever printed, in any language, all in under 60 seconds on Kindle. We hope you enjoy Kindle 2. Jeff Bezos, Founder, Amazon.com P.S. If you d like to have Kindle 2 ship to you the day it becomes available, we recommend preordering today to reserve your place in line.

I was disappointed that it was not the ‘whole’ cover. And at first, I thought the e-ink was in color, but it is just color printed on the plastic covering the eink section. Overall, I think it is cool. I will post more impressions as I have time. I am looking into how you can ‘hack’ the e-ink cover to display your own text or images.

The e-Newspaper by Plastic Logic will measure i8.5 x 11 inches, and is capable of browsing documents in PDF format as well as Word, Excel and PowerPoint files. As well as packing a battery that lasts “days not hours,” the device has wireless connectivity, though Plastic Logic is quiet about exactly what type.

The Amazon Kindle electronic book reader is one device that uses eInk technology. The Sony Reader uses the same technology in their electronic book reader.

e-Ink Corporation even sells a protype kit for developers to develop their own technologies with their eInk technology. The kit can be ordered off their website for $3,000.

Another exciting development with eInk is their partnership with Esquire to put their flexible eInk technology on the cover of their magazine. It will hit shelfs this fall.
