Amazon Kindle DX with a 9.7″ screen up for pre-order

Amazon, just before its press event in New York, has leased the details and pre-order onto its US website. Sporting a 9.7″ diagonal e-ink screen (1200 x 824 res at 150 ppi, 16-level gray scale), auto-rotating screen and a built-in PDF reader over the original Kindle plus boosted storage to 4Gb onboard. The rest of the details remain similar to its smaller brother with this one clearly aimed at reading news papers, magazines and text books. I don’t know about you but I think this one would be fantastic for reading journal articles. Why can’t you launch this in the UK Amazon?!

With the current Kindle selling well, especially to the over 50s age group Amazon might have a hit on their hands if they can convince users to switch their news paper subscriptions over to the digital format. If you’re in the market for one, head on over to Amazon to get your pre-order in. Just like last time, pre-orders will be filled on a first come first serve basis so if you’re keen on it even though it’s got a heafty $489.00 price tag you best get your card out.

If you’re unfamiliar with the eBook reader, here’s a video:
