Eclipse Magazine Reviews Kindle DX

(Amazon Kindle News) Eclipse magazine has reviewed the Kindle DX, giving it a negative review grade of a “C-”. The magazine’s main contention with the Kindle DX can be summed up with the following two sentences that appear in the Conclusion section of the review:

“The problem is the hardware is getting worse and worse, and more and more expensive with each release. That’s a bad direction to go in.”

Other things the review found as drawbacks include the battery life, having to hold down the off switch to turn the Kindle DX off (versus an instant action switch like on the original Kindle), and the small size of the buttons.

The review was done by Eclipse magazine writer Michelle Alexandria who made it clear that in the case of the Kindle DX, “bigger isn’t always better”.
