Amazon has announced that the international version of its Kindle DX e-reader is available for pre-order and will ship on January 19, 2010. This version uses GSM instead of the original’s CDMA for communications. Going GSM allows it to be used in more places around the world. The cost is $489. Here’s a link to the product page of the Kindle DX Global Version
Does anyone else think of WWE’s Degeneration X when you see the words “Kindle DX” or is that just me? Adding to the DX connection is the “Whispernet” network, which is the delivery system the Kindle uses. Longtime WCW fans will remember Whisper as the Nitro Girl that went on to marry Shawn Michaels. Okay…maybe that’s a stretch.
Anyone out there use a Kindle? I had one for a few weeks and loved it, but I had to send it back. It’s a fun device that actually got me to read books that didn’t involve DC or Marvel characters.
