Kindle DX Vs. Kindle With Global Wireless

The Differences:
The most obvious difference between these electronic reading gadgets available to buy at the moment is that one only works in America while the “Global Kindle” works in over 100 countries around the planet. Obviously if you reside in a country besides the States (or if you are an American who often travels to countries around the world) then that makes your decision (such as it is) clear; You must choose the Global Kindle.
Besides that, the clearest difference is that of their sizes. The Kindle DX is far larger both as far it’s display size and how much memory it has. It is also much bigger as far as it’s costis concerned (as of now the DX costs more than $200 more than the Global Kindle.)
While the DX is 9.7 inches, the Kindle with Global Wireless is just 6 inches. The bigger screen is particularly helpful with newspaper subscriptions (it makes it more like reading a real paper.) On the flip side, the smaller size of the smaller version may make it easier to carry around with you wherever you go.
There’s also a substantial difference when it comes to memory size. The Kindle DX Reading Device can hold up to 3,500 books while the smaller version can hold about 1,500 books, magazines, & newspapers. Although, who has more than 1,500 books?! I have a very hard time imagining this huge amount of space that the DX has is necessary for most folks.
Another difference between these devices is that the DX has an auto-rotating screen so that if you flip the gadget on it’s side the screen automatically adjusts itself to be read horizontally (and automatically adjusts itself to be read vertically when you flip it back.)The DX also has a built in PDF reader that the smaller version does not have.
The Similarities:
They both have access to approximately a half million books, magazines, and newspapers which can usually be purchased for lower prices than their paper alternatives. These books can all be downloaded within just 60 seconds from anywhere (they have G3 wireless so there’s no need to search for wi-fi spots.)
Both kindles have text to speech software which automatically turns all of your books into audio books.
Neither of these reading devices will add to your monthly bills. The wireless service is provided much like the service for GPS navigational systems.
They both have a basic web browswer that lets you check out websites from anywhere. This browser is designed for text based websites such as blogs and Wikepedia. It’s not for pictures or videos.
They both have a “no glare” display that “reads like paper.” If you are worried that reading a Kindle’s display will be similar to reading your computer’s monitor then don’t be!
