Amazon Updates Kindle DX, Drops Price

Updates to Amazon’s Kindle have been fast and furious lately. Today Amazon introduced a new Kindle DX with a lower price and higher contrast display. The 9.7-inch DX now comes in a graphite colorway with an updated e-ink display that’s 50 percent higher in contrast to the previous model for cleaner text and sharper images. Pre-orders on the $379 Kindle DX begin today and will ship out on July 7.
