The Kindle DX size is no problem at all.  Not much larger than the =
approach plate itself, very thin and light weight.  Excellent choice, =
including pdfplates. com.

Thanks,

A few months ago there was a discussion about having approach plates =20
and other documents displayed on an E reader.  There were some who =20
loved the Sony products although the approach plates did not fully =20
display on the unit.  The pilot has to scroll up or down to get all of =20
the information.  The Sony product was less expensive.  Then came the =20
Kindle DX.  Boasting of a larger 9.5" screen.  The approach plate =20
scrolling problem was gone but the size of the Kindle DX may be a =20
little cumbersome in the cockpit.  I read now where there is a site =20
with free distribution of IFR Charts, Approach Plates, SIDS, STARS, =20
etc.  (www.pdfplates.com) that can be displayed on either systems.

So now after the past few months I was wondering what users are really =20
saying and feeling about these systems?  Thanks for your input.
