Amazon Kindle DX to be released June 10, 2009

Amazon has posted a release date for the Kindle DX: June 10th. Those who pre-ordered should get their Kindle's first, as they are still promoting a first ordered, first delivered policy on the web page. Those who haven't ordered you can do so now to make sure they get a place in the first batch (with all previous versions, once the manufacturing batch sells out, Amazon has either stopped taking orders to changed the text on the order page to show a long backlog, so the initial shipment doesn't appear to be sold out, yet). Remember, you have 30 days after it is shipped to decide if you like it and send it back for a full refund, if you don't.

I would go ahead and order a DX Cover at the same time, as you don't want to use it naked for very long; the cover really does protect the screen when not in use or in the event of a fall. You may also want an extended warranty; in addition to the 2-Year Extended Warranty for Kindle DXsold by (but not serviced by) Amazon, you might want to check with Squaretrade.com (and look for a discount code, as
they almost always have those available). Either can be ordered anytime in the first 30 days after the DX ships to you (and only work after that 30 day period).
