The New Large Screen Amazon Kindle DX E-Book Reader

Rumors have it that the new Kindle DX, the successor to the Kindle 2, will be released by Amazon tomorrow (May 05 2009). Amazon’s latest e-book reader will have a natty 9.7 inch display (which is a massive 3.7 inches more than the Kindle 2 for those of you for whom size matters).

The larger screen is expected to make the device much more suited to reading newspapers and magazines and apparently both the New York Times and Times Warner’s magazine division are among the publishers who will put out content for the Kindle DX. It is likely that the price of these publications will be significantly cheaper on the DX than the Kindle 2.

Below is a first glimpse of the Kindle DX.
