When the
Nook and Kindle got a price cut a week or so ago, we were more than a little disappointed to see the larger Kindle DX keep its absurdly high price tag. But all that changed today when
Amazon announced a slashed price of $379 for the 9.7-inch e-reader. The $110 discount would have been enough for us, but Amazon took it a step further by giving the DX a sexy new paint job, and upping the contrast on the screen by a whopping 50-percent.
Otherwise, the new graphite DX is the same as the original: same free 3G wireless, same QWERTY keyboard and the same access to the sizable Kindle e-book store. The Graphite Kindle DX is available for pre-order now, and starts shipping to customers on July 7th. Post-4th of July gift for your favorite Switched editors, anyone? [From:
