According to Engadget, with reference to Wall Street Journal, Amazon is going to launch a bigger screen Kindle to be more suitable for students to display graphs and etc. At this present moment, the Kindle has just a 6 inch display.

On the WSJ report, they are sure that Amazon is announcing a bigger screen Kindle this Wednesday. This new Kindle will have a better Web Browser.

What is significant to me is that finally, students will be holding on to a thin gadget that can replace their textbook. However, with its grayscale display, I am not sure if this will go well with the students as they are so use to watching in full colours. Anyway, it is a start.
