Dear sirs,?
My current feeling is unhappy to see an article in the newspaper that Amazon said that a new model will be introduced within a few weeks. Very disappointed to see the sudden announcement in the domestic paper in Japan, not directry from your company as a manner of an pre-anoouncement to the consumer!?
Please think it if the company will launch a new model which will be almost the same but some improved one.?
The company should disclose the news with a sound pre-announcement to avoide uneasiness of the consumers.?
If I knew the information at least in eary June this year (one and half month before!!), I have not bought the article and, might have 100% waited for the new one.?
I am deeply discouraged to see such a manner of Amazon. In my mind, I think Amazon is a very nice company as a consumer oriented, that's why such a manner could not shown for the customer this time.?
I would like you to understand such a case like me and to pay attention some possible consideration and or treatment for such a case of mine.?
Your reply wiil be much appreciated.?
Vest regards,?

Everything functions like it should. I love the slender size which makes it very easy to put away or store when not in use. The battery life is awesome especially if the Wifi is off. Downloading books is a breeze and very easy to set up on your computer if your ereader is not available.?

The one thing I do miss is color.

I have been a user of the Kindle DX for almost a year and even though I do not use all of the features I am ready to give this device an extremely high rating.?

I travel for a living and I am the guy who always has several books in his bag just to pass the time, of course carrying books really adds to the weight load. The kindle solved all of that, I now travel with this slim light weight device , not only does it hold the 3k plus books it also carries a good conversation too. I have met more people who want to know more about the device and of course since I am willing that leads to other conversations.?
As of now I have only seen one Sony reader in the airport everyone else with ebooks all have kindles, all generations but not as many Dx's. I think the new model with the price drop will change that.?

Now recently I did have a problem, the screen on my kindle was acting up, I could not get it to display anything correctly ( I do not know if I dropped it without realizing it or if it was screen malfunction) I was traveling on a flight and when I got to my hotel I called tech support to help find a fix , their was none but since I was still under warranty they overnighted me a new one to my hotel, I had it the next day. I did not expect to get service like that. Awesome!?

All in all, the connivance of traveling with my books, a book store ( Amazon) no monthly fees, Long lasting batteries ( I charge it every few weeks.) Previews of books before you buy and the changing of the fonts to a larger size are all features for both kindles ( II and DX.) that I love. The DX adds to that with a larger screen , crisp black and white images that fit the screen and taking pdf files from work and reading them on the kindle., I also like the new feature of posting excerpts of what you are reading to face book and the new folder system for organizing books?

The features under experimental tab like voice and web are things that I have played with but I do not use them or depend on them.?

The one thing I pondered on before buying my kindle was would my mind miss the look of the print, I was half way through my first book on the kindle before I asked myself that question again. The answer, I didn't notice the change.

I wasn't sure whether to purchase the Kindle DX Latest Generation, or one of the new flat computers that recently hit the market. Much to my pleasure, I purchased the former.?

I am absolutely thrilled with the Kindle! It is a wonderful device to read printed material, but also has an excellent text to voice system. Downloading books is simple and quick--seldom more than a minute. It does not have distracting functions, such as games; it is a reading device. I often drive long distances. The Kindle permits me to continue "reading" although I may have to drive several hundred miles. Granted, the voice is not the same as a person reading, but it is quite close.?

I can actually see a potential purpose of the Kindle in teaching illiterate individuals to read. Please consider the potential teaching aspect of this device! At the very least, it will give those who have not learned to read insight into the wonderful world they are missing.?
