Delirium Propaganda

The Differences:

The most obvious difference between these two digital reading gadgets available for purchase at this time is that just one works in the United States while the “Global Kindle” works in over 100 countries all over the globe. If you live in a country besides the US (or if you’re a US citizen who frequently visits countries around the world) then that makes your choice (such as it is) quite obvious; You have to choose the Kindle with Global Wireless.

Besides that, the obvious difference is that of their sizes. The Kindle DX Reading Device is far larger as far it’s display and it’s memory capabilities. It is also much bigger as far as it’s cost.

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

There’s also a big difference when it comes to memory size. The Kindle DX can hold up to 3,500 books while the other version can hold about 1,500 books. But really, who has such a ridiculous amount of books?! Honestly, I have a difficult time imagining this huge amount of space that the DX has is needed for the majority of potential buyers.

Another difference between these devices is the auto-rotating screen that the DX has.The DX also has a built in PDF reader that the smaller version does not have.

The Similarities:

They both can download from a selection of about 350,000 books, magazines, and newspapers which can usually be purchased for lower prices than their paperback alternatives. These books can all be downloaded within just 60 seconds from anywhere (they have G3 wireless so there’s no need to search for wi-fi spots.)

Both kindles have text to speech software which can turn all of your books into audio books. Yes, your Kindle will read to you!

Neither of these electronic reading devices have any monthly charges to worry about. The way the wireless service works is much like the service for GPS navigational systems.

Both devices have a very basic built in web browswer that lets you check out websites wherever you are. This web browswer is meant for text based sites such as blogs and Wikepedia.

They both have a display that has no glare so that it reads like real paper. If you’re worried that reading a Kindle’s display will be like reading your computer’s monitor then don’t be!
