Kindle DX screenplays

ma05 · 03-06-2011, 06:52 PM

Hi guys

I just need a little help. I'm interested in purchasing a Kindle, but I read a lot of screenplays, so I was looking at the Kindle DX, as it takes pdfs and has the larger screen.

I haven't been able to see anywhere if the DX holds the formatting, or whether I would have to read the scripts in portrait or landscape form.

Does anyone use their Kindle DX for screenplay reading? How is it?

Does anyone out there have any screenshots of what a script would look like on the DX? Either in portrait or landscape? I haven't been able to find any anywhere.

I would greatly appreciate any help,

Cheers

Matt

If you have a screenplay that is freely and legally available, post the link to it on here. I (or some one else) will try it and report back.

As You Like It is free at Amazon; I can read it fine just in portrait even, but mayhap you are looking for something specific?

Edit: This is not a pdf; if your question is about that format I would say some work well and some less well.

(I have to scoot to work so I can't post a creen shot just now, but maybe someone else can grab the play and do so for you.)
