I doubt the recent rumor of a large Sony device had anything to do with it. We've known Amazon had a large screen Kindle coming since at least last October (whenever it was Tech Crunch predicted the Kindle 2... rmember the pink artist rendering).

If Amazon did rush the DX, I think it would have been in response to the Plastic Logic Reader. This Sony rumor seems to just be weeks old.
