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,

Subject: [LML] Kindle vs. Sony E Reader


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