Making Acase For Your Kindle's Wardrobe

Still carrying your Kindle 3?

Still carrying your Kindle 3? Of course you are. You may not have changed up your ereader since the holidays (and why would you?), but that doesn't mean you can't switch out your accessories on a more frequent basis. I came across the Acase case ($25-$36), which covers your third-generation Kindle or Kindle DX in vintage brown leather, converts into a stand, and provides a nice reading light so you can still take in your favorite novel at night.

This case is gender-neutral enough to carry on your own Kindle, but still looks masculine enough for dear old Dad.

Amazon's Kindle DX Gets an Upgrade, Lower Price

Amazon has announced an update to the Kindle DX, the larger-screened Kindle built to support textbooks and newspapers.

Amazon has announced an update to the Kindle DX, the larger-screened Kindle built to support textbooks and newspapers. The new device, which sells for $379 — down from the previous version's $480 — features a 9.7-inch display in a black frame. According to Amazon, the all-new e-ink screen has 50 percent better contrast. And it also includes free 3G wireless for instant downloading of books and other content.

The Kindle DX has had a rough time catching on; even with the recent reduction, its price is almost prohibitively high. And now that the iPad is available starting at $500, the Kindle DX seems almost obsolete, even if college and media companies agree to offer the device at a discount. One plus? I love the dark color of the new DX — here's hoping the sleek graphite color comes to the next version of the Kindle 2!

This year was huge for the eReader. In 2009 we were introduced to two new versions of the Amazon Kindle, two new Sony models, and an end-of-year sleek and chic newcomer: the Barnes and Noble Nook. I've lusted over all of these devices, but which eReader did you like best?

Get Your Gadgets in Gear For Back to School

I can't believe I'm already talking about heading back to school.

I can't believe I'm already talking about heading back to school. It feels like just yesterday I was waxing poetic about beach gadgets, and here I am talking about which ones to toss in your new Fall bag. Your very stylish bag I'd expect, much like the Hayden-Hartnett Ibiza ($200) number that I just can't get enough of. But what will you toss in this roomy tote that will help you score As on your many future term papers? How 'bout catching up on your latest homework assignment on a new Kindle DX ($300) (and wrapping it in a sleek case of its own) instead of lugging around a textbook, then setting some test reminders on the calendar of your new iPhone 3GS ($200)? I've already told you which apps to stock it with for school, so you should be good to go.

With E3 last week and WWDC this week, I know I've been throwing a ton of product announcements your way — the PSP Go and iPhone 3G S just skim the tip of the tech iceberg. And on top of those two big annual events, this week also brought the release of the Palm Pre and the Kindle DX. I'm already impressed with all four of these products in their own right, but I'm interested in knowing if there are any that you are going ga-ga over?

Kindle DX Released Today: You Buying?

Happy Kindle DX day!
by

Happy Kindle DX day! Today, the third-generation of the Kindle — the DX — starts shipping from Amazon.

The Kindle DX is the biggest Kindle so far (the display is 9.7-inches), which is good and bad, depending on your needs. On one hand, it makes it less portable, even though it remains slim, but on the other, you can read books and newspapers more easily — and you can finally read PDFs.

Not only that, but textbooks should be available soon, and its high price tag ($489) is set to be subsidized by a few newspapers. All in all, it's a strong offering for an eBook reader.

I'm in the market for a Kindle but am not sure quite when I'll be buying, but I'm curious to see if any of my readers are taking the shot on the Kindle DX today (or any other day). Tell me, will you be joining the celebrity throngs who've gone Kindle?
