New Kindle DX Available July 7 for $389. Still a Niche Product IMHO. But That is OK. Amazon Still Wins
The Kindle dropped to $189 recently. Now, the larger Kindle DX gets both an model upgrade (launching July 7) and a price drop.
Amazon cuts Kindle DX price to $379, improves e-ink display
The Kindlex DX’s 9.7-inch display is just a bit smaller than the iPad’s and is readable in sunlight. The new Kindle DX will feature an improved display with 50% better contrast. Like previous generation Kindle devices, the new DX features free wireless 3G access to let you buy and download ebooks without needing to use a computer.
Despite the price drop and improved screen, I’m still categorizing the Kindle as a niche device for “serious” (frequent) ebook readers.
