The Kindle DX has a new color and a new price. The Graphite Kindle DX is available to order, sells for $379.00 and will be shipped next week, starting July 7. According to the product page, there is an entirely new E-Ink screen in the Graphite Kindle DX, with 50% better contrast. Otherwise, it reads pretty much like the white Kindle DX, which is still available (and at the same price). There don't appear to be any outer changes (which is a disappointment, as the keyboard needs to be redesigned to have dedicated number keys and it would be much easier to use if there were page control buttons on both sides, as the smaller Kindle has.As always, if you purchased a Kindle DX in the last 30 days, you can call Kindle customer service (use the Help page on any Kindle store item, then Contact Us on the right side; email works, but if you use the phone option, you'll talk to someone in just a few seconds, usually) and get a credit for the difference. So far the refurbished Kindle DX, price is still $369.00, but if that drops you may be able to get an adjustment on that, as well.
