Early Reviews on the Kindle DX Mixed

The latest Kindle, the DX, launches Wed., June 17 and reviews of Amazon's latest, largest and most expensive e-reader device are already rolling in from a number of tech gurus.

Technologizer.com's Harry McCracken points out that the 9.7-inch screen on the DX is not only considerably larger than the Kindle 2's 6-inch display, but larger than the entire 2 itself and packs twice as many words onto its screen. McCracken details a number of the $489 DX's hits and misses before ultimately advising buyers choose the cheaper Kindle 2 ($359).
