Wink Hello from Yokohama Japan,
Hi, everyone

I became a Kindle DXi user about 2 month ago, and trying to
find some hacks for adding Japanese fonts.

Recently I found Amazon released Graphite Kindle that is
announced to have 50% better contrast and cheaper.
Its somewhat regrettable that I got it faster, however,
if it looks good enough I would buy it because of the improved contrast.

Rgds.

Welcome to MolbileRead, j2b. I hope you find the atmosphere warm and pleasant.
Do not be too upset about your the new Graphite Kindle. It is the nature of things that the new must replace the old.
There have been discussions here among Kindle owners about improving contrast. Perhaps they can be of assistance.

Don't spend $379 on another Kindle DX. Technology changes. It improves, it gets cheaper, looks better, feels better, turns you on more. Makes you want to leave your wife and have the tech make babies. Little human/e-Ink hybrids. (They'd be a little slow, though easier on the eyes.) Have you tried licking your e-Ink screen? I don't recommend it. Specially if you're in a crowded cafe. People look at you funny.

If you really feel an itch to part with cash, send it over to me. I have PayPal, you know. By the way, licking cash doesn't seem to get the same reaction from passersby. I wonder why that is?

So many messages appreciated for this newbie.

The day before yesterday, I successfully added Japanese fonts.

Thanks MR.
