Kindle DX, K2, and K3 for the Kindleworld blog

These include hands-on photos of Kindle DX web-browser screens in normal and landscape mode (with auto-rotation expanding the material into the wider screen mode (you don't want to do this much because the DX takes the time to REload the webpage from scratch) plus some images of its handling of PDF documents - for use with the A Kindle World blog.  Added 3 night-time shots of Kindle with Mighty Bright Ultra Flex 2 light.

This isn't a regular "photo gallery," but if interested in the now Kindle 3 (UK: K3) or the larger Kindle DX, the photos may help.  The new graphite model of DX, with a Pearl screen like the Kindle 3's, is expensive but has higher contrast, is trimmer, and works better for PDFs

Also, there's an earlier "Kindle 2" gallery with some of my wanderings involving the Kindle, including a Target store where I was able to see the Kindle2 and the Sony PRS-505 side by side, and a bit about a favorite Kindle jacket or cover which holds the Kindle and supports it upright for reading without needing to hold it.   See other galleries above for more on the Kindle 3.

Click on any image to get the larger version.  Then you can click on "Next" or "Previous" to see other ones.

I am a lover of books. Never thought I would be interested in purchasing a Kindle. Now I am having second thoughts. I basically would just be reading books for entertainment. Because of the larger font and size I am leaning toward the DX but wonder if I would get an improved product if I waited. Thank you for all the information and pictures you have provided. Thank you for all your effort.

Guest,
Yes, people always ask about them. But nowadays they know what it is instead of a
"What is THAT?" :-) I don't actually demo it much as I usually take it out of the case so
that I can read :-D But come to think of it, at a REI store counter, I wound up doing a
demo to a few sales guys, who were fascinated with it.

Chimin' my thanks to you for your pics and comparisons, etc. Really helps one make a decision as to which Kindle may be right for them. Do you find a lot of people ask about your Kindle when you are out in public with it? Bet you help 'sell' a lot of them that way huh? lol! :)

Also, anyone planning to use the experimental web browser should download my file of
mobile-optimized websites to be used from your Kindle by clicking on the active links in it.

You can get this athttp://bit.ly/mobiweb where there is also a description of how to use the file. This will get faster loading time.
