The black DX one, which is a bit larger? http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Read...Q/ref=kinww_ddp Or the white one, which is a bit smaller? http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Wirele...79254485&sr=8-1 __________________ ~~~{==========- Death at Midnight -==========}~~~

I do have a lot of technical programming books I use for reference. Of course I can Google stuff, but that does take time and sometimes not so convienent--it does take time to search sites after googling to find the one that has what you're looking for. But if I can keep my library of source code, references and other helpful things, it'll be useful. That's where the larger screen can be a benefit. But that price... gosh.... How clear/sharp is the white one's display? It says 167 ppi, whereas the black is 150 ppi. __________________ ~~~{==========- Death at Midnight -==========}~~~

That's my way of giving you a 'PC NON-answer' __________________ Non illigitamus carborundum~Vos mos non effrego mihi Coming soon: 'JoeSpecialOps'

Semi-related...for any smart device or computer...but if you go with Barnes & Noble's e-reader, for the next month they're giving away free classics electronically starting today.

Is for constructive criticism (will even settle for destructive) just anything but "Nice shot" or "Awesome".

I could get it, but several things I need to consider: the new Joes are beginning to come out and need to budget for that, and I just bought the Droid X, and I have another flight to Asia coming up. __________________ ~~~{==========- Death at Midnight -==========}~~~
