For the curious among you who haven't bought one (yet), here are some pix of the unboxing experience for a Kindle DX, and the Amazon leather cover:



First, the DX itself:



The leather cover:



The leather cover is held closed by embedded magnets, that attach to the Kindle itself. The embedded magnets are strong - - here they are holding up 4 "twonies" (Canadian $2 coins.)


At the smallest and largest font settings


Screen rotation options


Screen rotation in action (click for a quick spin):

Great pictures, Harvey!  I didn't realize that the screen on the DX is the same size as the entire K2.

Same here. I knew the screen was bigger; I didn't realise it was that big. Thanks for the pictures, Harvey!

Does the screen rotate automatically, or did he press something and I couldn't see it?

Be default, it will rotate automagically.

That can sometimes be a pain.  Like when you are laying on your side reading.  I have to turn the feature off then.

That's quite annoying, yes, turn it off at all costs.
