However, we suggest the following to improve the product.
People with poor eyesight need the following in order to facilitate or just use the kindle.
1. Larger font size options
2. Have menus display in larger fonts
3. have text to speech be able to read menus , article headlines and titles, and help in selecting them.
Kindle DX September 6, 2010
Harold D. Stolovitch (Los Angeles, CA, US)
I selected the DX after a lot of investigation into all of the available e-readers. I really wanted one that was specifically designed for reading and nothing else to complicate things. I have other devices for other tasks. The DX is portable yet has a large screen for easy reading. I just completed a journey of 3 weeks in Europe, traveling pretty well constantly. The DX was a wonderful aid on planes or in the evening.
My biggest problem is finding the right books. The book store has so many titles. I am slowly figuring out how to search for what is current in my interest areas. In the meantime I still go to bookstores and browse the shelves for titles. I then head for the DX bookstore.
Overall, a great companion for the road!
 I LOVE my KINDLE September 6, 2010

This is my second KINDLE -(I had bought the very first generation as well)
I love this Kindle version. The Kindle DX has a much greater contrast! Even in bright sunlight I am now able to read any text.(not so with the first one)
The page seize is larger so there is less 'turning of pages.'
Navigation is easy, pictures are great, PDFs look great, and most of all it has international download now available in most countries. I am all over the planet, and I can't take all my books everywhere I go, so this is a miracle! It is all I need for my long travels.
I definitely would suggest to get the Kindle DX leather cover, now available in many colors, as it holds the Kindle better. It helps protect the screen when storing. When taking it out of a bag or anything else, you don't need to worry where you are gripping the Kindle (screen, or pushing any buttons). My suggestion is to buy the cover with the Kindle all at once, as it saves shipping. I ordered mine in two steps.
I LOVE MY KINDLE DX!!!!WHAT A TREE SAVER & SPACE SAVER!

Thumbs up for Amazon customer support!
When I got my brand new Kindle DX, I soon realized something was wrong with the 5-way controller (it was pretty unresponsive). I live in Italy, where the free Amazon "Call me" service in unavailable, so I tried to contact them on the phone, but getting no answer, I sent them an e-mail message complaining I had been unable to talk to the custemer support. I got a call from them within 6 hours at my italian cellphone, and after a brief explanation, I soon got another Kindle being sent to me at no charge, together with a pre-paid UPS label for sending my defective one back to them. After two days, the second Kindle (perfect, this time) was in my hands.
Pretty impressive, indeed. I mean, as I said, I live in Italy, I know the way it is over here... ;-) I could expect no service like this from a local seller. Way to go, Amazon! Things can always go wrong, it's the way you react that matters!

Easy to use to use, very light to carry it around and screen is excellent when reading the books. The battery last longer more especialy when you just read the books without enabling the Whispernet.
What Like about the device:
1. Very light and easy to use.
2. The screen is excellent it doesnt affect your eyes.
3. The free basic Whispernet access
4. Music, you can listen to your favourate music like reading(Excellent!!!)
What I don't like
1. Whispernet is extremely slow
2. Paging through sometimes is very slow, it's like it is hanging.
3. The mouse is not user friendly sometimes your thums become tired when you use it.
4. The basic internet.
5. It doesnt support other file formats e.g .doc,etc.
6. It looks fagile
Recommendations
1. Introduce a touch screen (The first time I touched it I thought is a touch screen )
2. Improve your whispernet speed.
3. Introduce Voice recoder.
4. Introduce a basic Calender and a to do list.
