Interesting date considering the WWDC (Apple's big conference) is on June 8. If Apple has FINALLY developed a 9.5" Tablet device it will probably be announced at WWDC. If that comes out 2 days before the Kindle DX, Amazon will lose a lot of sales I bet.
An Apple device would be touchscreen, color, playing MP3, video, access to the apple store etc. It would crush a lot of competitors. |

especially when the apple pad is expect to cost about the same price, on paper the apple will win. only people with eye strain will even know the difference. |

WWDC keynote just ended. No big-screen hardware. Just another iPhone version (3GS). Looks like the Kindled DX orders are safe.

Yep, no tablet. Although, supposedly there is one i development, and it may come later this year, or early next.
Pixel Qi looks interesting, but it's still not quite as white as e-Ink, and for a dedicated reading device, I think I'll stick with K DX. It doesn't sound anyone else is close to introducing 10" e-Ink device, at least not in the next couple of months. At this point, the only way I'd regret my K DX order, is i there is a clear, 10" e-Ink with finger-touch control announced next month. Which I doubt.... |

I posted this a couple of days ago in another thread, but:
The Kindle DX is already selling out. Things to be aware of: 1. Pre-orders placed prior to June 5th will begin shipping June 10th. 2. New pre-orders as of today [edit: June 5th] will be shipped "in approximately 7 to 10 days." 3. Orders are prioritized on a first come, first saved basis. 4. If you change your existing order in any way -- remove the cover, for example, or change your shipping method -- YOU WILL BE BUMPED DOWN THE LIST. So much so that if you're currently using Super Saver shipping and change it to overnight, there's a good chance you'll wind up getting your order LATER than you would have before. And if you change it back to Super Saver, even later still. So don't modify your existing orders! Last edited by sirbruce; 06-09-2009 at 12:56 AM. |

I know... I did get the lady to give me a $5.00 credit to my account to "compensate me" for the inconvenience. I'll spend that puppy on a book!

I very nearly hit the order button when the DX was announced, but my Kindle 2 was only a couple of months old, and I'm still very happy with it. I'm really looking forward to hearing from those who are getting it, how well the built-in PDF support is. So far that's the only thing that bugs me about the K2, PDF conversions have been hit and miss.
The K2 has definitely given me the ebook bug though, I've read 12 books on it since getting it in March, more than I've read in a long time. |

This happened to me :-(
On the flip side, I hope that those who are sitting in the front of the bus will share their experience and this allows to cancel my order should the DX not rock as it should ... |
