Kindle DX isn't good for this?

It's just expensive old tech at this point. It's ok, but the screens in the newer Kindles meant for reading are much better.

Too big! I've got good eyes, so I prefer a small, high-res screen. I love the size of the regular Kindle models

Kobo Aura HD is pretty good too - high resolution ~8" screen

You've set up something for Amazon links that adds your affiliate link on the end? I don't mind affiliate links, but that's pretty sneaky.

That's not an affiliate link. Affiliate links are tag=, not ref=

Please get your facts straight before lambasting a guy providing a link.

Forgive me for making an incorrect assumption. Why provide the amzn.com link instead of the normal amazon.com link then?

And what is the ref= for?

I acquired this link from the Amazon icon used for sharing via email. I thought it would be looked upon more favorably than the long Amazon link in my address bar. Sorry for giving offense.

Oh right, I didn't know. So I guess the "ref" is for Amazon's own use. Wow did I lose karma for a simple mistake.

Also saying they've set up something to add their affiliate link implies they own amzn.com, which to be clear is not the case. http://www.who.is/whois/AMZN
