I just bought a new book titled Neptune's Inferno The U.S. Navy at Guadalcanal by James D. Hornfischer. I will give a report later.

Hi all,
How are pictures handled in those eBooks (and are there any or is it always just pure text)?


Leo "Apollo11"

Very nice. The DX has the new improved eInk Pearl screen with 50% better contrast over other Kindles. See for yourself. Shattered Sword has alot of pics to go with the text.

Thanks for info Nik!


BTW, I looked in Wikipedia for Kindle and your KindleDX is considered mix ox 2nd and 3ed generation whilst pure 3rd generation should be newer than your KindleDX.

Is this correct?

Also is it correct that your KindleDX (i.e. mix of 2nd and 3rd generation) has better picture quality than pure newer 3rd generation Kindle?

Wasn't me who started that conversation.  My fantasy team's pitchers had a good week.  5 starters, each with a quality start and a win.  [8D]
