Amazon is now ready to add the bigger 9.7″ Kindle DX to Philippine shipments

Tuesday, January 19, 2010

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). The device also has an auto-rotating display so you can position it horizontally while reading. 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. Order page here http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015TG12Q?ie=UTF8&ref_=pe_15240_14063870_fe_img_1&linkCode=shr&camp=213733&creative=393173&tag=amboah06-20

E-Readers Done Right CES Show

Sunday, January 10, 2010

Crushed by an Avalanche of E-Books: A slew of new e-book readers (including the much anticipated Plastic Logic Que and iRiver Story), plus Amazon's announcement of a global Kindle DX and the unveiling of Microsoft-centric Blio software for graphics-heavy content, were the major symptoms of e-book fever at CES. If the makers can get the prices down, e-books could really go mass market.
 
Comments found online at PC World

E-Reader Done Right: I've seen a lot of e-readers lately, and in spending some quality time with Spring Designs' $349 Alex Reader, I came to appreciate much about the company's approach to e-readers. It doesn't have the biggest display, nor the most colorful one. But this Android-based device does have a highly usable and well-integrated LCD, and its ability to flow content browsed anywhere on the Web to the e-reader gives this model a unique edge over the competition.

Actually, I Liked This One Better: E-readers were one of the hottest categories of the show this year, and the most compelling new model we've seen is the Plastic Logic Que. This 10.7-inch reader sports a capacitive-touch display that lets you gesture through page turns; it also downloads books from Barnes & Noble's e-book store. It will be available in April in a 4GB Wi-Fi version for $649, and an 8GB version with Wi-Fi and 3G for $799.

At the Showstoppers party at CES in Las Vegas, senior editor Mark Sullivan took a look at Plastic Logic's CUE eReader and HP's first touchscreen netbook, the HP Mini 5102. And he walked away impressed by both: take a lok for yourself.   Check out his video here http://www.pcworld.com/article/186501/the_impressive_cue_ereader_and_hps_first_touch_netbook.html?tk=nl_dnx_h_crawl
