Laptop has a multi-page review of the new DX. They like it, but don’t feel that it has a robust enough feature set for students.

Interestingly, they have a comment on screen that I haven’t seen before:

Looking at the cover of N. K. Jemisin’s The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms on both devices, the DX’s version was definitely darker, but appeared muddier to our eyes rather than having better contrast.

  1. Right offhand I do not recall the pixel count of each screen but I am assuming they are different. Rendering the image file to displays of differing sizes/resolutions is bound to cause some “problems”.

    Since the same Kindle file is used among all the devices that are capable of reading it it is not really likely that the master file conversion optimized the images within the book with just one device in mind.
