ca n't answer because in my opinion it lowered my opinion of the Kindle. The change in ergonomics (buttons and lack of dedicated numbers on the keyboard specifically) are for the worse. Of course Amazon has never had a clue how to design a keyboard, they seem to toss darts at a board and call it good. And the buttons on the very edge that are back to activating with an outward press rather than the inward press is frustrating for many. Pick a behavior and stick to it. The number key thing is just an annoyance and not that bad. But the device has a feel of being being rushed to market to bear Sony. The price is nice, really it is and the graphite case is also very nice. But the buttons are a complete non-starter for me.
And the DXG is also a complete non-starter large format reader as i need my right hand free if I want to do research I need my right hand to take notes, as to, MOST PEOPLE ON THE PLANET. So the buttons on the right side only is a bad decision simply because it restricts my choice as a user.
So the last couple Kindle design decisions are somewhat wanting in my opinion. but I still think it's one of the better dedicated readers out there.
