Amazon has always been known for it’s options… need socks, gummy bears and a good book? No problem, 1 stop shopping with lots of variations, but up until now their Kindle lineup has been 1 dimensional. Not anymore. Just 1 week after Amazon dropped the price of their Kindle 2 they are releasing a snazzy new DX. (Lets just pretend that this is the original DX’s hot girlfriend.)
With a sleek new graphite exterior and a stunning list of new features. (including social networking options) this little beauty is bound to turn some heads. (Especially since the price is a shocking $379 compared to the previous $489) And, although she won’t be leaving her comfy home in the Amazon warehouses until July 7th, you can pre-order her today, (weather you’re a domestic or international customer.)
Check out what she has to offer and you be the judge. Stick with old faithful or trade her in for a new model.

Personally I love my Kindle, I was skeptical how much I would like it prior to purchase but the Kindle is as easy on the easy as regular print, with added features such as dictionary support (allowing your to define any word while reading) and the ability to download any new book wirelessly anywhere anytime is great. Although I did finish a book on a plane the other day and was a little miffed I couldn’t pick up the next in the series wirelessly (How spoiled am I) Anyways I think the second generation was great, I wouldn’t like it to be any larger and for $189 it beats iPad and Nook, just my thoughts if you want to know more check it out here http://amzn.to/9qQGee
I honestly love all the tough effort that you have done keeping this website going for your followers. I truly hope this stays around for a really long while.
