I put one in my cart but haven't checked out yet. My use would only be books.

A book with all its types, layout and graphics, is really a piece of art. I hated it so bad when the $89 best buy reduce it to lumps of alphabets. I swore I'm going to get the DX when it goes down to $250. Well, this is close enough. Ironically, I ordered a printer right after ![]() |

I am very tempted to get one of these. If the price had been this low when I bought my K3 a few months ago, I probably would have bought this larger screen Kindle instead. I tend to use a fairly large font and have to turn the page way more often than I'd like with the K3.
I have one serious issue though and I hope someone here can help me. It's in regard to the auto-rotation. Can the auto-rotation be turned off so that I can set the DX to display the text in landscape mode in one direction and later switch it to landscape display in the other direction without auto-rotation switching it due to its gravity sensors? I read lying on my side in bed and prefer to read with the text displayed in landscape mode. However, the actual physical device is held in portrait orientation to gravity... so if auto-rotation is on, it would just keep the text switched to portrait display. I need to be able to turn the auto-rotation off, but also be able to set the display to landscape display in both directions. I hope this is clear enough and someone can clarify this for me. Thanks! ![]() ETA: I found the Users Guide and it can be locked in landscape orientation. Last edited by blue_skies; 11-24-2011 at 07:50 PM. |

When I read that I had to hit that "proceed to checkout" button before you did! :eek!: Otherwise they may all be gone, and the screen of my Irex has several problems already. Can't imagine going back to 6 inches.

The DX won't replace the M90, as I use the M90 for ePubs, but realistically I use my Sony 950 a lot more than my M90, as it actually wakes from sleep on the first try. |

I was thinking of the DX, but I would really love to be able to take notes on it and have the more powerful PDF capabilities of the M92. |

What's strange: my DX is being shipped from China. It seems they send it directly from the factory? All my previous Kindles were sent from the US.

I canceled my order last night after watching several YouTube videos to fully understand what I was getting. That, in addition to not having version 3.x firmware. I prefer to read on my tablets, and I just don't think I would use the DXG as much given its shortcomings (physical/software). I finally ordered the Touch; scheduled to be here Monday. The sale on the DXG is supposed to continue through Monday (while supplies last), so maybe I'll order again if the Touch isn't pleasing. *sigh*
