The simularaties in regard to performance and functionality, Kindle 2 and the Kindle DX are many.
Both reading devices offer a best-in-class e-book reading experience. Both have screens with “e-ink” technology that approximates the look of a real book. This technology reduces eye strain that can be experienced after staring at a computer screen too long.
Technologically, both Kindles are nearly identical. Both have the exact same processor and the same text-to-speech functionality. Both use a 3G wireless modem—not wifi—to connect to the internet. So, as long as you can get a cell phone signal you can download a book, magazine or newspaper onto your Kindle in as little as 60 seconds! Each Kindle also has a USB connection to transfer books from your computer.
The battery life offered by each Kindle is identical too: you can continuously read for four days with the wireless modem turned on or for two weeks with the modem off.; each Kindle’s battery can be fully recharged in about four hours.
The differences are apparent when you look at the two Kindles side by side. This chart gives us a quick look.
