With technology constantly evolving it comes as no surprise to see Amazon ( 亚马逊 ) launching a larger version of its e-reader ( 电子阅读器 ). The new version of the Kindle DX, with a screen as big as an A4 page, is aimed at reading newspapers, magazines and documents. The question is, are people ready to say goodbye to books and papers? “With other e-readers on the market and the Kindle brand becoming more well-known, it seems like a question of when will we see it, not if.” says Kevin, a university professor. Once you have bought your Kindle DX reader, you then gain access to the Kindle store. The virtual ( 虚拟的 ) store has more than 225,000 books available to buy as well as 37 newspapers and 28 magazines which you can subscribe to ( 订阅 ). And they say this is just the beginning. Amazon’s vision is to allow user access to every book that has ever been printed, in any language, and all in less than 60 seconds. Kindle is the first to use wireless technology which enables users to buy books from a virtual store in 60 seconds. However, will we actually benefit from the Kindle DX? Well apparently we will, or at least students will, especially if you are studying literature. Without printing and shipping costs, books could be cheaper and struggling with your books would be a thing of the past. The initial ( 起初的 ) price of the Kindle DX is quite expensive ($349), but if you worked out the overall costs of textbooks, it doesn’t seem too bad.
