Fire In The Disco posted:I will say, I love the bigger screen on my DX. I've never once thought, "Gee, I wish I had a smaller Kindle." It's not a pain to carry or anything. I agree with all of this. If you can afford it I'd always recommend the DX over the 6" kindle.

Cartoon Man posted:Would anybody pay $50 for an ad-supported kindle that displayed a full page ad every 100 pages or so that you read? Lets say that you could press the page flip button and immediately skip through it when it came up. They're cheap enough now that I would prefer to pay full price than get a free, ad-supported one. I can see why some would like a cheaper ad-supported version but really I'm not interested in saving what amounts to a handful of cents per hour by viewing ads.

Does anyone have any experience with putting multiple Kindles on the one account? My sister's just bought one and I'd like to be able to share my library with her and vice versa. Are there any downsides to doing this apart from the whole "someone else could theoretically use my CC" angle?

Awesome, looks like it'll work great then. Thanks for all the responses!

Sticky Wheeler posted:What's better, 3G on the Kindle, or 3G on the Nook? I just want to jailbreak/root an eBook reader and use it for email/Twitter/Wikipedia wherever since I don't have a data plan or a smartphone. Is AT&T's network more widespread than Sprint's? If you want a tablet, get a tablet.

Sticky Wheeler posted:I don't want a tablet, I want Wikipedia: the device that I can occasionally look up local addresses and other info on when I'm not reading on it. Or for Tweeting. I was hoping that the 3G service bundled with Kindles/Nooks is more widespread than looking for random open wifi networks with an iPod Touch. e-ink devices are universally terrible at doing things that aren't 'reading a book'. Yes they have inbuilt browsers but trying to use them will make you want to gouge your eyes out. They're slow, the keyboards are awful and anything even remotely dynamic will just not work. If you want to do things that aren't just 'reading a book' then get a tablet.

HeroOfTheRevolution posted:Just make up a dummy address in the US and if the book you want isn't available in Australia then you switch to the dummy address and buy it. Unless you use a proxy this will only work for a month, then Amazon will cut you off until you send them proof you live in the US. You don't lose the books you've bought but you will have to change you address back to buy anything else.
