9/28/2023 0 Comments Amazon kindle dx battery life![]() This makes it hard to read in low-light conditions, although it's easy to read in bright sunlight. It doesn't support color, and is a dark-grey on light-grey text. Because of the battery life, I'd rather travel with my Kindle than an iPad. The iPad, though, will only go 10 hours between charges. This means it has fantastic battery life, going for a week between charges even under heavy use. Thus, the device wakes up to redraw the page, then goes back to sleep while you read it. The Kindles use "e-ink" technology that requires no power to maintain its state. The Kindle's screen is 1200x800, while the iPad is 1024x768. It has roughly the same physical dimensions, although the iPad is about 40% heavier. ![]() I bring up the iPad because it's roughly the same size as the Kindle DX. Many have described the Apple iPad as a competitor to the Kindle, but the opposite is true: Amazon is in the business of selling books, it'll happily sell you a book for your iPad, and store it in your cloud library. The fact that I have some many Kindles reinforces the fact that it's a "cloud book library" and not a device. Presumably, once I get the iPad in two months, that will be my 7th Kindle tracked by Amazon. My first two Kindle's were versions 1 and 2 of the device, the other three are the software readers on my iPhone, notebook, and desktop. The new device came labeled "Robert's 6th Kindle". However, it's larger/heavier, so I'll still take my smaller Kindle on trips It makes daily reading, especially magazines, more comfortable. I did find a company (called UltraSonic) on that sells replacement batteries for the Kindle 2, and I'm waiting to hear back whether they sell batteries for the Kindle DX.I just got the large screen version of the Kindle ("Kindle DX"), and spent the last day reading on it. I came across a website that said the battery for the Kindle DX is the same as the battery for the Kindle 2 it just has a different part number. Has anyone tried replacing their battery and if so was is successful? Where did you get the replacement battery and what kind was it? Has anyone had problems with their Kindle DX battery and if so was it resolved? My questions to the good folk of this forum are these:ĭoes anyone have an idea how long the battery life (not holding a charge, but until it dies for good) of the Kindle DX battery is? Am I worrying for nothing? ![]() I have come a across a few websites that show you how to access the Kindle DX battery, and it seems that it is possible to replace it, albeit not without risking damage to the Kindle. I'm not so sure I want to go ahead with my purchase now, and it's a bit disappointing after all the good things I've read about the Kindle DX (no memory card slot not withstanding). I was told that Amazon would sell me a refurbished kindle DX for $259 for a battery problem after the warranty expires (!!). I asked to be transferred, and lo and behold, was told that Amazon does not replace the Kindle DX battery. I was told a transfer to the warranty team would be in order (?). I asked him what he would tell a customer who was calling in to have the battery replaced after the warranty period expires. The front line agent kept trying to tell me the battery would be replaced free of charge during the warranty period. I called Amazon customer service to see how one would go about doing that (I live in Canada). To my knowledge, all batteries have a shelf life, and eventually the battery for the Kindle DX Global will need to be replaced. I'm thinking about purchasing a Kindle DX Global, but I've learned that the batteries are not customer replaceable.
