On Wednesday, at a press conference at Pace University, Amazon.com unveiled the Kindle DX, with a 9.7" diagonal screen (Kindle 2 has a 6" screen). The new device is aimed at consumers who want to read textbooks, newspapers, or magazines, and will sell for $489 (pre-order now, available in summer '09) vs. the Kindle 2's $359.

Times are tough for newspapers, and as we know, the Internet has overtaken newspapers as a news source. As newspapers study charging for portions of their online content, some are choosing to close their print edition entirely. Thus, tomorrow will be the last printed version of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Seattle Post-Intelligencer (1863-2009) will publish its final newspaper tomorrow; going online only.
