Kindle DX Features

After making the Kindle 2 available for Philippine customers last October, Amazon is now ready to add the bigger 9.7" Kindle DX to that list. Aside from the larger screen (9.7" on the Kindle DX vs. 6" on the Kindle 2 ), the DX also has bigger capacity with up to 3,500 books (4GB built-in storage). Of course, there's the price difference -- $489 -- almost twice the price of the Kindle 2. Amazon is accepting pre-orders now and will start shipping the Kindle DX on Janaury 19, 2009. The 2nd generation Kindle from Amazon is now official and is available for pre-order for $359. Well, unless Amazon changes their business model and unlock the Kindle from Sprint's 3G network. It features a soft plush body mixed with silicone and plastic, measuring just 80 × 68 × 82 mm and weighing 140 grams.
