Amazon Introduces the Kindle DX
Well, I heard it was coming, and it's certainly a nice looking device. The Kindle DX is the large-format version of the new Kindle - measuring a full 9.7 inches diagonally. It includes a native PDF reader, and the ability (like the iPod/iPhone) to sense the rotation of the device and automatically go into landscape mode. Other than that, it's the second-generation Kindle.
I'm happy that my Kindle is working so wonderfully, but in a way, that's bad news for me. For as long as it's working OK, I have no reason to get a new one. I think the new version of mine is what I'd get, but it's nice to think about the bigger version and reading books. That would have been incredible in school.
Still... I'm waiting to see if Apple brings out an iPod Touch that's in the same size screen, but color, and smaller overall, and then get that and retire my Kindle. That would be a nice upgrade.
