New Kindle DX: Will it save the newspaper industry?
Backed by Amazon.com, the new Kindle DX boasts a larger viewing area than the Kindle 2.0. The full 8.5 x 11 viewing area contains an orientation sensor that switches to widescreen mode when the user turns the device horizontally. Three newspapers plan to pilot with the Kindle DX (the New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Boston Globe) by offering subscription pricing (prices are not currently published). The new Kindle DX will retail for $489.
