I purchased a Kindle DX and just got it today. The unboxing experience was interesting in that it had a few of the typical peel off tabs that are typical with gadgets and electronic equipment. For some reason I thought that the front screen showing the first two steps (plug into power and then turn on) was another sheet to peel off. It took me a couple of seconds to realize that the first step instructions was the actual Kindle screen. This is a sort of screen-culture shock which made me smile once I realized it. The next culture shock was that I was looking for where to configure the Wifi. Instead it just worked and started downloading my books from the local cell towers with need to configure settings or deal with a phone company on my part. Very nice startup experience and impressive. I put no effort into understanding how a Kindle DX operated beforehand or the premises on which it operated. It was all just discovered in the first five minutes.
