    Summary: The Kindle DX introduces a larger screen and native PDF support to the e-book reader. Too bad an awkward keyboard, missing navigation buttons, and the ongoing issue of price keep it from becoming the ultimate e-book reader.

    Summary: Reading on the Kindle DX over a long weekend was a pleasure. The display doesn't induce headaches or eyesores like a computer monitor would; text is crisp yet soft enough to remind us of a page in a book. Though it's barely noticeable, the screen ...

CNET editors' buying advice

We have not reviewed this product but here is CNET's buying advice on E-Book readers. This content was chosen based on the features included with this model of e-book reader.

Supported text formats

While weighing the features between different eBook devices, one of the most important things to consider is what formats your device can display. In addition to user-editable formats like .txt, .doc, and .html, many popular devices support a particular proprietary format that effectively locks you in to a given content provider. Sony's Broad Band eBook (BBeB) format can't be read on an Amazon Kindle and Amazon's AZW format can't be read on a Sony Portable Reader. More devices (and paired content providers) are on the way. The market segment is still quite new and it's too soon to say which formats will be around to stay and which ones will end up like a cherished collection of LaserDiscs.
