I have two Kindles. One is first generation (and I still love it) and the other is the Kindle DX (which I love even more). But I am writing this review in light of the fact that the newer Kindles will soon be here and anyone contemplating a Kindle DX should not buy one until you read about the upcoming features on the newer and FAR CHEAPER models of the Kindle. There will two of them.

Otherwise, you might feel like me and think...Ouch!...because shortly after I bought the "new" Kindle in 2010, the release of an even newer set of Kindles was announced (in Aug 2010), one for $139 and one for $189. I've compared the features and I am truly wondering if I should have waited. These Kindles are being released so fast and furiously that it is hard to know how soon the "newest" Kindle will be replaced by a newer version!

I know that the Kindle DX has holds far more books and has longer battery life than the first generation Kindle. But what about the newer versions? Will they do just as well and cost far less than I paid for my Kindle DX? They will definitely be lighter to carry! The DX weighs far more.

For those of you contemplating a Kindle DX, I would strongly suggest waiting to see how the newest Kindles do. It is impossible to review them, including possible glitches, until they ship on August 27. But since it is late July as I write this, I have to ask why anyone would want to pay $379 for the current Kindle (which shows as being "in stock" ) when the newer ones will be released in about a month.

If you still are interested in the DX, it does upload books quickly, has nearly a 10 inch reading display, up to 3G in storage, etc. I'd be happy to answer any more questions for those who want to leave any in the comments section but since this review is coming so close to the release of the newer Kindles, I think it would be worthwhile to look at both the Kindle DX page and the upcoming Kindle model (Aug 27) and compare features. I'd love to know what others think.
