Amazon announced the Kindle DX this morning, featuring a screen 2.5 times bigger than the regular version. This is supposedly optimized for reading newspapers, magazines, journals, and textbooks. As a regular Amazon customer, Lord knows I find this new product tempting, but the rumors about some sort of Apple-designed "media pad" in the offing--sort of a blown up iPod Touch--would make a commitment to the Kindle platform premature for me at this point.
