Amazon held a press conference here in New York today to announce the new Kindle DX, their newest version of the electronic reader. The DX features a much larger screen than previous incarnations at 9.7″. It has native PDF support, built-in 3G, and a display that rotates when you turn the device. Several major newspapers will be available on the Kindle and it was announced that a few major Universities will be offering textbooks on the device for students. Full details and purchase information are available on Amazon’s site: Kindle DX. Retail cost at this time is $489.

They keep releasing new kindles, but it’s the same old with couple of new functions. I don’t think worth the money
They may seem expensive but I think that the Kindle will be a large part of our future. http://www.newsy.com/videos/will_new_kindle_dx_change_reading/ has a full report on the future effects of the kindle. They also say that amazon just created a deal that allows them access to 60% of the textbook market. Giving them the potential to become very powerful.
That is cool , I like the e-book reader too , at Tradestead there are many kinds of such useful consumer electronics with very cheap price that I like it very much!
