Kindle DX WiFi: The True iPad Challenger?

The release of Kindle 3 has given Kindle fans a lot to be happy about (even though we find the device to be disappointing on paper). Instead of trying to innovate and look for outside-the-box ideas, Amazon has decided to choose a conservative approach with its Kindle family of products. The new Kindles may not have too many bells and whistles like the iPad and some of those upcoming Android tablets, but they do aim to offer a better reading experience to e-book fans.

One can’t always fight fire with fire, and that’s what Amazon seems to have realized at this point. Jeff Bezos has talked about his company’s inability to manufacture a color-screen Kindle that meets his high standards. Those who have listened to the man should have already known what he had in mind for Kindle family months ago. Amazon is focusing on price and Kindle reading experience for now instead of trying to out-Apple Apple. That’s a very smart strategy, considering that Amazon’s competitors such as B&N and Borders are going to make even more price cuts just to compete with Amazon. But why hasn’t the company released a Kindle DX WiFi yet?

Amazon’s Curious Kindle DX Mistake

In case you have missed it, Amazon is already shipping Kindle DX graphite. The device has a better display and is expected to be more in demand considering the price cut that it has received. The trouble is Amazon is still selling the old Kindle DX. This is the first time that Amazon has not discontinued an older generation Kindle while selling its new model. When Kindle 2 was released, Amazon immediately discontinued the first generation Kindle (the same was the case when global Kindles were announced).

What To Make Of Kindle DX – Gen 3?

There was a time when Amazon had big plans for Kindle DX. The device was expected to be a hit among college students and in professional schools. Unfortunately for Amazon, those plans have not panned out. When Kindle DX was announced, there was no device like an iPad to put competitive pressure on it. In a few months, there are going to be a few more iPad-like tablets available to consumers. That means Amazon probably had no choice but to stop the bleeding and reduce Kindle DX’s price to keep it competitive for now.

Amazon seems to be stuck with Kindle DX at this point. The device is still too expensive for the average reader. At the same time, it does not offer the features people have come to love on devices such as iPad. The next generation E-ink screen is nice to have, but it does not justify the price.

Amazon Upgrades Kindle DX

With Amazon dropping Kindle 2′s price just recently, many Kindle DX fans were wondering whether a price cut was in the works for Kindle DX as well. As it turns out, Amazon is not only cutting Kindle DX’s price, it is introducing an even better display on this device. Also, the darker case on this device should improve its readers’ reading experience. It is still going to be called Kindle DX, but it will be $110 cheaper (priced at $379). It will be released on July 7th.
