I have long wanted to get an e-book, because there are a lot of reading and mostly technical literature, the choice fell on KindleDX. And now, having finally gotten together to order a reader, going to the Amazon site, was upset - the DX model was not on sale (second-hand vendors did not count), and it was removed from the page of the Kindle e-book family. Frustrated, he went looking for news about this, but he did not find specific information. I offer you a free translation of the news a week ago, it may be interesting to people who, like me, are thinking about purchasing this e-book.
Original:
blog.the-ebook-reader.com/2012/10/06/kindle-dx-price-cut-is-there-a-paperwhite-dx-in-the-futureLooking through Amazon, I noticed that the Kindle DX was moved to the top of the Kindle series page with a new price of $ 299. Previously, it sold for $ 379. It seems that this decline is constant, as there is no mention of a sale or a special price.
Abandoned and forgotten by Amazon's Kindle DX for more than 2 years, now in comparison with the new models of its software is outdated. It is even inferior in the characteristics of the Kindle Keyboard, and since then 4 new E-Ink readers have been released. Amazon did not mention the DX model in press releases, however, they continued to sell it.
Even for $ 299, I do not find a good reason to buy an outdated DX instead of 8.9 ″ Kindle Fire HD for the same price. It's a kind of insanity if you think about it, if you really don't need a 9.7 ″ E-Ink reader with minimal functionality.
However, it will be interesting to see what the price reduction actually means. Maybe Amazon’s plans to finally release an updated DX model, possibly with a Paperwhite display. Or, having sold all the Kindle DX at a reduced price, the production of the DX model will be completely reduced.
Some of this should happen, as they cannot always sell DX with its current functionality. A paperwhite Kindle DX would be a good addition to the Kindle family.
The end of the translation.')
Indeed, it would be very cool if Amazon Paperwhite Kindle DX was released, because I didn’t find any alternatives to the 9 "reader, and I wasn’t only the screen size among the entire DX line. I’m hoping for that, because I didn’t find any news about the cessation of production .
