Gear up for a much bigger Kindle

Recently, Amazon’s Kindle faced a controversy regarding patent rights against Discovery who claims the concept of this portable e-reader. Now it is on the spotlight as Amazon announced some upgrades for Kindle, this time it offers a much wider screen. This new model is set to hit markets before the holidays. This upgrade sets to end the rule of newspapers and textbooks as publishers eye this device as their new medium for content distribution.

Kindle comes in two sizes wherein the smaller one was earlier released last October of 2008 while the second model has the size of 8.5×11 inches (almost the size of a standard sheet of paper) with a much wider screen. Before its release, the company will conduct a trial launch this summer incorporation with Detroit News and Detroit Free Press. Also, advertisers can take advantage of its larger screen to display much quality adverts compared to the latter Kindle model.
