Everything is set except I don't find any power adapter. I have the USB power adapter which is the legacy of iPod Shuffle. I followed the instruction on the Kindle's screen. Plug the power adapter, use the navaigation menu, read the Kindle's guide at the first glance. I can look up words at the Oxford American dictionary, and listen by "Text-to-speech." Then I tried to use the 3G wireless funtionality to access gmail, google reader. It works good but the black-white screen reminds me this is not a computer or laptop. Then I clicked on the "shop on Amazon store." Everything goes as easy as possible. Searching and buying books, subscribing newspapers, all are easy jobs. But if you want to play well with this Kindle DX, you need to be patient sometimes. Anyway, it's a good book reader device, reading on the screen is like reading words on some plastic product. Kindle DX is actually not lightweight for I holded it for one hour but I can easily ignore the weight while I enjoy the reading. The most inadvantage of Kindle to me is that most of mathematics textbooks don't have kindle version. It supports original PDF. I hope it will work fine.
To access gmail, google reader, open the URL: google.com/m/gmail, google.com/m/reader. (update: or can try: reader.google.com)
