The Amazon Kindle DX is Twice the Size of Its Predecessor

Amazon’s new Kindle DX is an addicting addition to the Kindle family for book lovers everywhere. Where you choose to use the magazine-width wireless gadget is your own business.

This modern reading tool has a 9.7-inch display which can display 16 shades of gray at 1200x824 resolution. In addition, Amazon’s Digital Text Platform lets authors self-publish directly to the Kindle. Late last year, Oprah Winfrey announced the Kindle as her new favorite gadget.

The Amazon Kindle DX, which was announced on May 6, has a larger screen than its predecessors, supports multiple file extensions, and is more suitable for displaying newspaper, textbook or uh… magazine content.
