Windwalker Review of the KDX

[wallcraft]

Stephen Windwalker has a good review of the KDX at teleread. One thing he mentions is the legibility of non-book pages:

The Kindle DX display seems very easy on the eyes. After taking, magnifying, and comparing screen shots of the same page from my Kindle DX and my Kindle 2, I can say with some certainty that the font size, font clarity, background and contrast on the two models are similar.

But there is a specific and valuable kind of serious improvement in the display legibility of the Kindle DX compared with the earlier Kindle models. The new Kindle can better handle all of the non-adjustable fonts to which we have grown accustomed on Kindles. For those of us who tend to gravitate toward the larger font sizes whenever we are able with the Kindle, it can be frustrating to try to read the Kindle Home screen, the Kindle storefront, and other displays such as menus, bookmark listings, search results and the Settings page.

On the Kindle DX, all these non-adjustable pages are far more legible and easy on the eyes, especially in less than optimal light.
