Quick review

The good
Looks stunning, seamless shopping, more memory, big screen
The bad
Sluggish interface, cheap joystick, basic formatting, awkwardly large
Verdict
Bigger? Yes. Better? Not really. More memory and better PDF handling are welcome but Kindle’s super-sized ebook reader might be too large for travellers and too small for anyone expecting a real digital newspaper
Key specs
3.5mm jack, 3G

  • Shame we haven't yet got a really good eBook reader over here. The Sony PRS-505 is kind of adequate but suffers from those same bugs with PDF rendering, frequent reboots on some ePub books and is partnered with Waterstones as the default vendor who have an absolutely abysmally low number of electronic books available.

  • I’ve bought a Kindle DX few weeks ago and I’m really impressed with it. It’s wonderful. I love it.
