An ebook reader that works

This week Amazon announced that the Kindle DX sports a near 10 inch screen.

Me personally have a Sony PRS 505.

I am a geeky person and more often than not I read a lot of tech magazines compared to either a news paper or novels and the like.

PRS has been a pain in this regard the small screen and the click buttons that have been painful to use to zoom and move to the area needed. In this regard the DX scores. I have been able to play with one of these and reading magazines on this has been finally feasible.

It is a little heavy and you can expect your arms to pain while holding it. The easiest mode was to rest it on my lap or table to read. I did have trouble reading in in bed but would still prefer it to anyother reader I have tried before.

The price is around 500$ but the only other alternative is a 13 inch tablet and that is really costly. It seems like a value compared to the amount of money I would save reading PDF's (read as downloaded magazines).

All in all the Kindle DX is on the top of my wish.

Now only if someone would buy me one. ;-)
