Amazon finally seems to have noticed that its $489 Kindle DX is still overpriced compared to the iPad. It is coming out with a new model, with 50% improved contrast and a graphite rather than white body. The 9.7” e-ink display and 3G wireless remain otherwise the same, but the price is falling $110 to $379.
The new Kindle DX will ship July 7th, but Amazon is taking pre-orders now. If you were considering buying one of those $350 DX refurbs we mentioned earlier, you might want to think again.
