Amazon Kindle DX and ebook evolution
Updated after reading what this device is all about.
Amazon’s Kindle DX is a larger Kindle deriving from the technology in Kindle 2. It’s got a 10” display instead of the 6” on the Kindle 2, has more Flash memory than the Kindle 2, and can auto-rotate pages, but apart from that it’s pretty much the same as a Kindle 2.
It seems optimized for reading documents with pictures and lots of text per page in PDF format, like computing and educational books, rather than literature. It’s also suited for people that need the extra size for larger letters while reading literature.
$489 is even steeper than the Kindle 2, but I still want one. If they had taken out the mobile radio it probably would have been $100 less.
