I love it for reading books because I can adjust the type size. I do not see how it can be used as a text in science and mathematics because reading tables and charts is horrible. They frequently come out too small to be read.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[andree2537]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 6th 2009 4:28PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Amazon Unveils New $489 Kindle DX with 9.7-inch Screen]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/05/06/amazon-unveils-new-489-kindle-dx-with-9-7-inch-screen/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/05/06/amazon-unveils-new-489-kindle-dx-with-9-7-inch-screen/</guid><description><![CDATA[Is the new Kindle DX backlit for low light reading?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jewelzy263]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 7th 2009 2:30PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Amazon Unveils New $489 Kindle DX with 9.7-inch Screen]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/05/06/amazon-unveils-new-489-kindle-dx-with-9-7-inch-screen/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/05/06/amazon-unveils-new-489-kindle-dx-with-9-7-inch-screen/</guid><description><![CDATA[$489.00 for the privilege of reading e-books... I don't think so. Look folks... I have a string of advanced degrees, all earned before the PC was invented, so I suppose most of you will think me old fashioned. Nothing could be further from the truth. Two of those advanced degrees are in Electrical Engineering and Applied Physics. But, in my opinion, $489.00 is just too much money for a gadget that will be obsolete in a few years... just like this computer I'm now using! The big difference is I can use this computer for an almost infinite number of applications. How many does the Kindle handle?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[dickn2000b]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 7th 2009 4:21PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Amazon Unveils New $489 Kindle DX with 9.7-inch Screen]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/05/06/amazon-unveils-new-489-kindle-dx-with-9-7-inch-screen/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/05/06/amazon-unveils-new-489-kindle-dx-with-9-7-inch-screen/</guid><description><![CDATA[I agree with you. I am an online graduate student and bought the Kindle to upload my reading assignments for the convenience of reading away from home. After $399.99 and an additional service fee a month later I bought a good four in one printer, printed my reading and stored them in a nickel folder. I like the Kindle for entertainment reading, but for class I need to be able to make notes and refer to them when completing assignments.The price is too high for technology that is obsolete before you get to the car. Students can find better uses for $489.99.   ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Marisa]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 7th 2009 6:09PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Amazon Unveils New $489 Kindle DX with 9.7-inch Screen]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/05/06/amazon-unveils-new-489-kindle-dx-with-9-7-inch-screen/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/05/06/amazon-unveils-new-489-kindle-dx-with-9-7-inch-screen/</guid><description><![CDATA[you mut have wasted a lot of paper without a printer LOL]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[wtre428476]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 7th 2009 7:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Amazon Unveils New $489 Kindle DX with 9.7-inch Screen]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/05/06/amazon-unveils-new-489-kindle-dx-with-9-7-inch-screen/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/05/06/amazon-unveils-new-489-kindle-dx-with-9-7-inch-screen/</guid><description><![CDATA[I remember when the prices went DOWN as technology went up. I thought the price of original Kindle was overpriced, so I passed. Since the price went up, I won't be buying the Kindle.

It looks worse than the last one!!!<br>Yay Amazon for proving they can make things even worse!!<br>i may be in the minority here, but ill stick with my Sony PRS-500 (the first one) any day over that....that...abomination. Sure mine may be old and outdated, but it still does what its supposed to do and thats all i need it for, i dont need any of that fancy BS like mentioned in the story above, with the screen changing or the back light. People can never be happy with what they have!!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[creatureboydan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 7th 2009 6:10PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Amazon Unveils New $489 Kindle DX with 9.7-inch Screen]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/05/06/amazon-unveils-new-489-kindle-dx-with-9-7-inch-screen/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/05/06/amazon-unveils-new-489-kindle-dx-with-9-7-inch-screen/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have to say that I find this Kindle stuff intriguing, even though I'm a die-hard fan of good old-fashioned paper books.  The thought of sitting on the beach or in the park with this thin piece of technology is attractive.  However, for $500, you'll not make me jump the fence any time soon.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kahoohiwahiwa]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 7th 2009 6:21PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
