The clearest difference between these electronic reading gadgets available to buy at this time is that just one works in the US while the “Global Kindle” works in countries around the globe. If you make your bed somewhere outside the USA (or if you’re a US citizen who often visits countries around the world) then that makes your choice quite clear; You have to choose the Kindle with Global Wireless.

Besides that very important distinction, the biggest difference between the two is that of size. The Kindle DX Electronic Reading Gadget is bigger both as far it’s display and how much memory it has. It’s also far bigger as far as it’s costis concerned (as of now the DX costs more than 0 more than the Global Kindle.)

The DX is 9.7 inches and the Global Kindle is 6 inches. The larger display is particularly helpful when reading a digital newspaper On the flip side, the smaller size of the global version may make it more easy to take with you.

There is also a large difference as far as memory. The bigger Kindle can hold over 3000 books while the global version can hold up to 1,500 books, magazines, & newspapers. But really, who has such a ridiculous amount of books?! Honestly, I have a hard time imagining that this extra space to be needed for the majority of potential buyers.

Another difference between the two 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.

They both have access to about 350,000 books, newspapers, and magazines which can all be bought for much lower prices than their paper 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 automatically turns 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 wireless service is provided a lot like the wireless for a GPS.

Both devices have a basic web browswer that lets you check out websites wherever you are. This web browswer is designed for text based informational websites like Wikipedia and blogs.
