Kindle DX is getting International Version.
There is a link to "Kindle DX Now with Global Wireless" on the amazon homepage.
I'm thinking about getting one then... I'm currently using a sony prs505 and have all books in calibre... should be possible to convert them for kindle then and upload them via usb, right ? |

We already knew that there would be an "International" Kindle DX during 2010, but Amazon haven't yet announced a release date for it.

If amazon added note taking for pdf, and ePub support, then kindleDX might fit me.
These two facts totally kills it for me. |

There is no such banner on my home page, but I did notice something intersting.
On the DX page, there is this message...... "Expected to ship in 2 to 3 weeks. Ships from and sold by Amazon Digital Services. Gift-wrap available. 6 used from $598.00 Order Kindle DX now to RESERVE YOUR PLACE IN LINE. We prioritize orders on a first come, first served basis." Perhaps by the time its available, it will be the global version. Perhaps......... |

The International DX link went up - then was taken down. Perhaps a webmaster jumped the gun. Rumors of a press conference/announcement circulating.
