I use a product called "ReaderPlates" http://www.readerplates.com/

It displays plates on both the Kindle DX and the Sony PRS-505.  I use it 
with the Sony PRS-505.
The product is not free, but is only $10 per month and includes the Airport 
Facility Directory.

The Sony displays the entire plate on the screen (somewhat minified),  you 
can also see the upper and lower halves of the plate if you want greater 
magnification.  I believe the plate is displayed on the Kindle at full size.

I like it and would recommend it to others.  I would love to have IFR charts 
available on the same device as well.
