It was not a very long time ago when Amazon reigned supreme in the e-readers market with its Kindle models. That what then and now the e-reader market has became very crowded with new players entering the field almost every day; those players range from well known to lesser known. And now with the release of the iPad tablet which is a multiple functions device that can serve as an e-reader and with more tablets from different manufactures to enter the market in the near future, one can only feel Amazon line of thinking: how to hold on to its market share? It's response came last week with the announcement of the upcoming release of its high end Kindle DX model loaded with new features at a reduced price of $379. It will go on sale July 7 and will joint the standard and more popular Kindle e-reader already offered at the reduced price of $189 after competitor Barnes & Noble dropped the price of its Nook e-reader.
According to TechNewsWorld, "the new Kindle DX comes with an improved screen contrast, zoom capability for handling PDF files, a collection of tools that allow readers to better organize their reading materials and offer the ability to share selections from books and periodicals via social networks using the free 3 G service that is available with the device."
