The DX would be priceless for college books, but I also like the compactness of the Kindle 2. I think initially I'm going to get the Kindle 2. Once the technology is a little cheaper, or maybe when Jess is in college, we'll get the DX. I already carry around a monster of a laptop, and I think for right now, smaller is better. If I read a lot of newspapers and pdfs I think I would have to get the DX as it blows the Kindle 2 away in those categories. It was cool to video-con with you, good seeing you.<br /><br />Fatboy - Wow, great list. There are a ton of free books available. All the classics are free, or at least really cheap. I didn't realize it until looking at that list, but even Amazon has a bunch of free books. The swapping books thing bothers me, but I guess I'll just have to give up my Kindle sometimes. If you have more than one, you can link them to the same account and share all the books you own between them, but then you would have to buy two. I wonder if there is a way to get books that you already own in print on to the kindle in ebook version.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09860867689257635059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6164411038903080179.post-75687765440223524142009-06-15T15:08:47.822-07:002009-06-15T15:08:47.822-07:00It sounds like it may be worth it for the way you ...It sounds like it may be worth it for the way you want to use it. I don't do enough traveling to justify it for myself. Plus, my daughter's finally getting into books that I like, too, so we do a lot of swapping. If you do get one, it looks like a lot of public domain books are available for free, so you'd have a lot of reading material right off the bat (http://ireaderreview.com/2008/01/19/free-books-for-the-amazon-kindle/).Fatboyhttp://www.jefflewis.net/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6164411038903080179.post-4227985054271989602009-06-11T12:08:03.908-07:002009-06-11T12:08:03.908-07:00Hold off -- I just saw a review of the Kindle DX s...Hold off -- I just saw a review of the Kindle DX somewhere.I'll try to remember where I saw it...said it was way better even than Kindle ver 2.
