Introduction

The Kindle DX e-reader was introduced by Amazon in 2009.  It comes with a QWERTY keyboard and a d-pad.  The DX model comes with free worldwide 3G internet access that requires a SIM card within the device.

If the SIM card malfunctions in a Kindle DX, the user will not be able to download e-books via the 3G network.
