Since the Amazon Kindle came out in 2007, people have gradually been converted to the simple world of paperless books. At first, people were skeptical of something they identified as a tactile pastime. However, the size of the Kindle (quite like an actual hardcover novel) and also the e-paper text quality of the Kindle are gradually converting people to a new way of reading.

In terms of portable ebook readers, the Kindle is quite unmatched in terms of its quality and price for booklovers. In its latest iteration, the Kindle DX continues improving upon its predecessors. The 9.7 inch display is meant for reading anything from novels, reference textbooks, newspapers, or blogs. And right out of the gate, the DX has native PDF support.

As mentioned, the text display has near paper quality thanks to the E Ink technology that doesn't require a backlight to read which means less strain on the eyes. The battery life is also quite impressive as it can last 2 weeks on a single charge without wireless support or 4 days with it on. And speaking of wireless, the DX has 3G global wireless which means you can beam down new reading material wherever you are. And since the Kindle is an Amazon product, you know that it has lots of books on file. With 400,000 titles in its Kindle library and growing constantly, Amazon offers the cheapest prices for newly released copyrighted books. With its 4GB memory, the Kindle allows you enough room to save 3500 ebooks for your reading pleasure. Imagine having that many books in your bookshelf at home. Or how about carry even a few books on a vacation? With its 10.4" x 7.2" x 0.38" dimensions and 18.9 ounces in weight, the Kindle DX is a no brainer option to lugging multiple books when you're on the go. And speaking of on the go, if you're in the car, you can turn on Kindle's Speech to Text function and listen to the ebook while you're driving. When you're ready to read again, you can pick up exactly where you left off. This audio reading capability is not available in many of Kindle's competitors.

With all these features, the Kindle is certainly winning over the naysayers to the side of mobile ebook readers.
