I researched other reviews and talked with owners of the Kindle 2 and DX.
I chose the kindle2 and I am very pleased. The only difference I can see is the extra price.
I am happy that I did not spend the exta. The kindle2 is great and I have not been able to put it
down since it arrived yesterday. It is easy to use and the books download in less than a minute.
If you have any hesitations, let those go and purchase the kindle you will not regret the purchase.
I wish I had purchased it sooner.
It is a beautiful, competent, well-made just-the-right-size package!
Who am I to say so? I built my first computer in 1959 and have published and lectured nationally on computer topics. I’ve made a lot of mistakes, but learned some stuff. Every day I shop the computer market and search for new products.
This Acer replaces a two-year parade of eight other netbooks, starting at 12″, then assorted 9 and 10″ models. Those were good, name-branded systems, but — even hot-rodded with huge 7200RPM drives and all the RAM they could handle — did not really earn my love.
The Acer tops the pack with easy access to upgrede the memory and hard drive, but little need to do either. As a newer generation netbook processor, replacing the well-established Intel Atom line, even with a single core (and rumor has it the dual core model will be released here, soon), it rocks in all of my applications. Note that I am not a gamer and do not do Olympic graphics, so those needing THAT kind of horsepower may be disappointed. Still, for home and business use (I’m a dentist), it is a solid performer and well-poised in the pricing realm. My endorsement as a netbook and a portable computing system for general use is without reservation. Certainly for a student, through professional school, it is a classy winner. Mine is IN-YOUR-FACE red and strikingly singular in its appearance.
Did I mention I really like it? Those other eight products did not excite me enough to do a product rating; this one does.
Thanks for expanding on this subject. I have been searching through yahoo for the past few hours. I have read many of your other posts and they are great. I can’t wait for your next post. I also like the theme, where did you get it?

Online marketing is not just for the ongoing product, making a website or for letting customers buy items online. Online marketing can also include how a business proprietor can engage a work team. The measure of people who are taking computers, web design, and learning to host websites proves just how productive online marketing can make the employer, the employees, and the independent contractors. And with a sufficient Internet savvy team, your business earnings can increase too.
