Hmm, I wonder why...?

Kindle 3 forthcoming?

  Amazon.com, the world’s largest online retailer, isn’t relying merely on price
  cuts to contend with Apple. In August, Amazon.com plans to introduce a thinner 
  Kindle with a more responsive screen and a sharper picture, people familiar
  with the company’s plans said last month.

Seems odd they would release a Kindle DX less than two months before a major new version?

I think they're aimed at different markets, and the most important thing for the DX was to get the price further away from the iPad, which they did.

Kindle DX has always been released independently of the smaller model if I recall correctly.

It's the pricetag of the Nook?
