Jumbo Kindle coming this wednesday
May 4th, 2009 by Kunal
The rumors of a jumbo Kindle or a large screen Kindle is all over the web. The new large screen Kindle will be an alternative to newspapers and magazines. We believe that this would be Amazon’s attempt to put life in the dying newspaper industry. The Kindle e-book reader has been a grand success for Amazon and the Kindle 2 was recently unveiled for $359.
The rumors came from New York Times (NYT) and it is believed that the large screen Kindle would be in association with NYT. Interestingly NYT and Amazon refused to comment on the rumors.
Amazon has called a press conference on Wednesday. Though the invitation doesn’t say anything about the new Kindle, the news is unofficially official for most of us.

Update: It seems that the new Kindle would be called Amazon Kindle DX. It would feature a 9.7″ screen compared to the 6″ in Kindle 2. A inbuilt PDF reader and discounted rates to subscribe to the New York Times.
