It took nine days but my new Amazon Kindle DX (Second Generation – Global 3G) arrived in the mail today (which was faster than the six weeks it took for my wife to receive her Amazon Kindle (Third Generation). I did manage to hold in my excitement and urge to rip open the box at …

Just a quick note for tonight. My amazing wife has spoilt me (yet again) by ordering an Amazon Kindle DX (second generation model). This is the bigger brother to the third generation Kindle which has been unboxed and previewed previously on the blog. I’m planning on using it for my various reference materials that come …
