Amazon revealed a new, larger version of the Kindle (called the Kindle DX) designed to better display newspapers and magazines for $489.

The screen size is 9.7 inch (versus just 6in. on Kindle 2) and is auto-rotating (meaning it will turn the text landscape if it is held horizontally).

Starting this summer the Boston Globe, New York Times, and Washington Post will offer discounted Kindle DX to readers where home delivery is unavailable in exchange for long-term subscription contracts.

Also of note: it was stated that for some books, digital copies account for as much as 35% of the book's sales.
