Amazon is working hard to develop new better versions of Kindle. While the storm of Kindle 2 didn’t become silent yet, Amazon made another surprise by introducing 9.7″ version of Kindle Wireless Reading Device and accepting pre-orders. The device named as Kindle DX will be released this summer and will be sold according to first come first served principle. According to Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, this big version will help reading newspapers, maps, graphs and magazines better. The text and images are much sharper and PDF format is now naturally supported without any need of conversions. You can see the size difference in the photos below.

They have added also an iPhone-like function. When you turn the device the display will follow it. Portrait to landscape or the opposite, and all the text and images will be resized accordingly automatically. It has advantage of viewing graphs in more detail and easy way.

All old features of Kindle are reserved including 3G, WiFi and text to speech technology. The storage size is now around 3500 books. Kindle 2 had around 1500 books capacity.

The only negative I can say that Kindle DX weighs almost double of Kindle. Exactly 535g. But, I think many people will neglect this and buy Kindle DX because of its high quality and features where other hi-tech companies can not even approach to compete against.
