The newly redesigned Kindle Reader is being called the Kindle DX.  Not yet available for shipment, however, you can pre-order it.  This is the 3rd model of the Kindle to be released, and each upgrade has been somewhat drastic in terms of design, usability, and memory capacity.

The first big change you will notice about the Kindle DX is the size of the reading screen.  Measuring diagonally across the Kindle DX reading screen is 9.7” inches across, versus the Kindle 2 coming in at 6” inches.

Another very welcoming feature of the Kindle DX is the tilting screen.  The device has a sensor in it that detects if you tilt the Kindle DX on its size to read in landscape view, and the screen will automatically switch for that type of viewing.

Now that people are realizing that the Kindle not only is good for reading books, the memory has been doubled for storage of audio files, pdf files, mp3’s, and even images.

Touted as an “experimental feature”, the Kindle DX can also read the books to you.  The built in software has been said to work quite well, minus sounding somewhat like a robot.

These are the largest differences between the Kindle 2 and the Kindle DX.  Since the Kindle DX is on pre-order right now, who knows when it will be released and first impressions really noted.
