Amazon.com
Amazon's launch of its first dedicated e-reader for newspapers, magazines, and textbooks points to a future when digital and analog publishing begins to merge. With increased graphics resolution and a 9.7-inch diagonal screen that's nearly double the size of the book giant's popular Kindle 2 e-reader, the $489 wireless Kindle DX is a departure from previous e-readers on the market.
