It takes just a couple of minutes to install kindlepdfviewer thereon.

We can only underscore pdf (ocr-ed) in kindlepdfviewer though, so if we also need to scribble on pdf or annotate it otherwise, we can simply simultaneously (while reading on Kindle DX) open the same pdf in another tablet or e-ink depending on our preferences e.g. if we need color recognition, dictionaries, multitasking, lighweight device etc. then iPad mini or similar smaller tablet will suffice. |
Well, let's weigh the Kindle DX out. The things that put me down (to seriously not consider it) were:
1. No SD card - my PDFs can be quite bulky and the non-expandable storage might pose a threat later (applies to the Paperwhite too)
2. Old hardware and slow processing power - perhaps Amazon may like to re-Kindle the specification fire on the DX this fall
3. Screen resolution too low for this generation.
I do not require scribbling/annotation facilities right now and the use of stylus seems quite unaccustomed to me. Thanks for your inputs!!
