In a press conference at Pace University in New York, the founder and CEO of Amazon Jeff Bezos showed the electronic device, which costs $ 489, considerably more expensive than its predecessor, $ 359.

According to analysts, the Kindle DX is the seed of a potential revolution for newspaper publishers because it avoids the costs of paper and distribution. With this small flat screen TV, newspapers can reach any corner with a single click.

The new Kindle accesses the Internet through a 3G connection that allows download content without having to hook up to a computer or search for wireless networks. You can play graphics and photos, in black and white, of excellent quality. The creators say that a newspaper page fits in your screen of 9.7 inches (24.64 centimeters).

Amazon has already signed a contract with the editors of the newspapers The Washington Post and The New York Times to distribute their editions of this form. "We will offer a subscription through the DX Kindle readers who live outside our distribution areas, so they can enjoy their favorite day," said Arthur Sulzberger Jr., chairman of The New York Times Company.

The Post, the Times and the Boston Globe offered the Kindle at a reduced price in exchange for long-term subscriptions. And inaugurate a new business model similar to that developed mobile telephony, the company sells an inexpensive terminal in exchange for a commitment to stay up to 24 months. (Based on agency)
