I don't know if this applies to US users, or not. Note that the article is from the UK.

I wonder if this is also true of the Kindle app on iPads?

Just checked the Settings section of my Kindle DX and discovered that my software version is the latest one. So I should be good to go. Evidently, the software updating took place when I had the wireless turned on sometime in the recent past.

The DX has been a godsend for me, and I expect also for others who, like me, have early stages of age-related macular degeneration. The only workaround for this condition is magnification.

I run my browser on one of the two 27-inch monitors attached to my 'puter. The browser fills one of those screens and the browser magnification is set at 150 percent.

With the Kindle DX I can adjust the font size so that the text can be parsed correctly and easily by these damaged retinas. The large screen size of the DX allows for a lot of magnified text to display at one time, reducing the frequency of page-turns.

My prediction is that the DX is going to be a bigger seller in the future as Boomers age enough to develop this vision liability. The DX has kept me reading recreationally when away from my computer.

It turned my keyboard kindle into a brick.Too old to update via WiFi and I don’t currently own a desktop or laptop. I ordered a paperwhite with 3g (used). It was time anyway. The keyboard was a frankenkindle, put together with parts from 2 broken models.
