![The Amazon Kindle 9XXXD [Parody Video]](https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/archives/035rSZflbFmRWVZZSb7AMB5/hero-image.fill.size_1248x702.v1647017812.png)
The device itself features a larger screen with more shades of gray for better display, a bigger hard drive (3.3GB) that can hold up to 3,500 books, and auto-rotation, so that users can read content in either portrait or landscape mode...
The company is doing deals with a number of universities and newspaper companies to make its device more widely available. Amazon has signed on The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Boston Globe to offer the Kindle DX at a reduced price in exchange for long-term subscription commitments, while 5 universities are launching pilot programs where the Kindle will be offered to students as a replacement for textbooks.
What's next in store for the Kindle? Atom Films reckons it can only get bigger, skipping ahead to the "Kindle 9XXXD" in this parody video. Whether the DX requires a parody, however, is debatable: some might say the $500 pricetag is itself a bit of a joke.
