Amazon announces Kindle DX ship date: June 10th
Amazon has just made a whole lot of Kindle DX owners-to-be very happy campers. Back when the super-sized e-book/e-magazine/e-newspaper/e-text book reader was announced, “Summer” was as close as we got to a release date. Pre-orders were open of course so that anxious e-bookers could reserve their spot in line, but Summer can be a pretty long season — you know, global warming and all. Amazon has just made the Kindle DX ship date official however, June 10th to be exact, so the mystery is over. Those of you who were quick to throw down $489 on a pre-order will likely receive your DX shortly after the 10th and orders are first come, first served. Translation: if you haven’t gotten your order in at this point, expect Hartsfield-Jackson style delays.
this really does look sick……..that said….giveaway bgr?
Wish it actually looked like the device in that photo…
Hoping to steal some of Apple’s thunder, eh?
heh “global warmning”…
In my experience, Dallas/Ft. Worth Airport’s had much worse delays than Hartsfield-Jackson–DFW reference would have seemed more appropriate, at least for me.
How odd that the device pictured in this article is not a Kindle DX…
How odd that the device pictured in this article… has now been changed. Well done, BGR.
still looks pretty.
Awesome
looks good but still has the worst refresh when you turn the page. The whole screen flashes, turns black and then displays the next page. Not at all distracting I’m sure.
i can’t wait to pay $500 just so i can buy some books
lol @ alen. Actually, I used to feel the same way until I decided to give the Kindle 2 a try. There is not too much arguing the price, but you do get free wireless access etc., and if you are reading the display is actually pretty nice.
I like the convenience of being able to get a new issue of the Wall Street Journal “delivered” every morning, and the new DX promises a native PDF reader.
