But even though it still reported it could be fully charged and worked fine (sort of more on that in a bit) when tethered to a charger it’d inevitably revert to “empty” in a matter of seconds after I disconnected the charging cable. When I pulled it out of storage after a lengthy period of non-use a few months ago, its empty-battery status (as reported in the above photo) wasn’t a surprise. And perhaps obviously, the Kindle DX’s larger screen is tailored for reading digital newspapers, magazines and the like, although it also works just fine with the ebooks that the Kindle Keyboard is targeted for. Therefore, DXG cannot display international fonts, like Cyrillic, Chinese, or any other non-Latin font, and PDF support and the web browser are limited to matching the Kindle 2’s features.īut they certainly had differing price tags the Kindle DX “Graphite” originally cost $379 when released in 2010. Due to these differences, the DXG runs the same firmware as Kindle 2. The CPU has the same speed as Kindle Keyboard’s CPU, but the DXG has only half the system memory, 128MB. The DXG is a mix of third-generation hardware and second-generation software. The two products are siblings of a sort quoting from Wikipedia: Connectivity is 3G-only (plus USB for manual content transfers from a tethered computer), its dimensions are 10.4 x 7.2 x 0.38 inches (264 × 183 × 10 mm) and it weighs 18.9 ounces (536 grams). It also makes improvements to the first-generation model’s E-ink screen contrast ratio. It’s referred to as the “Graphite” model because it only comes in one color, versus its white-or-graphite-case-option predecessor.
