Choose which kindle is right for you…

Amazon Kindle is a software and hardware platform developed by Amazon.com for the rendering and displaying of e-books and other digital media. Three hardware devices, known as “Kindle”, “Kindle 2″, and “Kindle DX” support this platform. Kindle software applications exist for Windows, iPhone OS, BlackBerry, Mac OS X and Android. Amazon’s first hardware device, the Kindle First Generation, was released only in the United States on November 19, 2007.

Amazon announced the Kindle DX on May 6, 2009. This device has a larger screen than its predecessors and supports simple PDF files. It also is the thinnest Kindle to date and offers an accelerometer, which enables the user to seamlessly rotate pages between landscape and portrait orientations when the Kindle DX is turned on its side. It is marketed as more suitable for displaying newspaper and textbook content.
