The 0.5 series does not support the DX. The 0.6 series which is currently in beta does.

While you won't see your Kindle recognized under the 0.5 series, you can still do nearly everything you want with 0.5.

If there is a non-Amazon book that I want to move over to the Kindle, I do format conversions, metadata changes etc and when I have the book the way I want, I will use "Save to Disk" --> "Save only Mobi to disk" and a pop-up will come up where you can select the location. Select "My Computer --> e:\Kindle --> Documents" folder.

It works great that way. No offense to Kovid, but I'm a little leery of beta versions so this work around works well for me...

Hope this helps...
