    The Kindle With Global Wireless Vs. The Kindle DX 

    The Differences:

    The clearest difference between the two Kindle wireless reading devices available for purchase at the moment is that one only works in the US while the other works in over 100 countries all around the world. Clearly if you live somewhere outside the USA (or if you’re a US citizen who often visits other countries) then that makes your decision (such as it is) quite clear; You must choose the Global Kindle.

    Besides that, the clearest difference between the two is that of size. The Kindle DX Reading Device is far bigger both as far it’s display and how much memory it has. It is also much larger as far as it’s costis concerned (as of now the DX costs more than $200 more than the Global Kindle.)

    While the DX is 9.7 inches, the Kindle with Global Wireless is just 6 inches. The bigger screen is most helpful with newspaper subscriptions (it makes it more like reading a real paper.) On the other side, the smaller size of the global version may make it more easy to carry around with you.

    There is also a large difference when it comes to memory capability. The Kindle DX can hold up to 3,500 books while the global version of this wireless reading device can hold approximately 1,500 books. Although, who has that many books?! Honestly, I have a difficult time imagining this extra space to be necessary for most folks.

    Another difference between these devices is that the DX has an auto-rotating screen so that if you flip the gadget on it’s side the screen automatically adjusts itself to be read horizontally (and automatically adjusts itself to be read vertically when you flip it back.)The DX also has a built in PDF reader that the smaller version does not have.

    The Similarities:

    They both have access to approximately 400,000 books, magazines, and newspapers which can all be bought for much lower prices than their paperback alternatives.

    They both have a built in “text to speech” program which can turn all of your books into audio books. Yes, your Kindle will read to you!

    Neither of these reading devices will add to your monthly bills. The way the wireless service works is much like the service for GPS navigational systems.

    They both have a very basic built in web browswer that lets you surf the web wherever you are. It should be noted that this web browswer is designed for text based sites such as Wikipedia and blogs. It’s not for pictures or videos.

    Both digital book readers have a “no glare” display that “reads like paper.” If you’re concerned that reading a Kindle’s display will be like reading your computer monitor then don’t be! ..FREE TO COPY Articles at GlossaryBlog

    The events of the New Testament did not come to pass until after 400 years. Some of the silence in these 400 years is recorded in the Apocrypha found in the Catholic version of the Old Testament.
