Kindle DX provides path for magazine publishers
Finally it's official -- the Kindle DX was announced this morning.The most interesting aspect of this device is the size, and the ability of the device to display a "magazine" format with a full-page PDF representation. It remains to be seen whether an XML-based representation (allowing reflow and better linking) is better than the "PDF" mode, but we'll work that out.
Texterity is working with our publishing partners to make all our magazines available on the Kindle, both paid and controlled, as we have done already with the iPhone and iPod touch.
I am personally very excited to see this device, and think that it provides a real breakthrough in the reading experience. And, in expanding the audience for magazine and newspaper content.
