After all the furore of unprecedented sales and generally being the ‘must have’ gadget gift of 2009 the succes of the Kindle 2 International Wireless Ebook Reader has prompted amazon to do the same with their larger reader.  The Kindle DX Global edition is not available until 19th Jan 2009 but you can pre-order it now.

It would be hard not to have heard of the Kindle Ebook Reader.  It has become the most popular item at all sold this holiday season at the world’s largest online retailer.  It seems more and more of us would like the convenience of reading whatever we want, wherever we like, without having to carry around more than one book.  With either Kindle reader you can carry thousands of books with you at all times.  Plus, you can instantly (well in a minute or so) download new titles (or old ones from your own online library) whenever the desire takes you to read something new.  Did I mention being able to highlight, annotate and store your bookmarks?  It does seem these Handheld Ebook Readers pack a lot into their small little packages.
