Unboxing Amazon's Kindle DX

Amazon’s new large-screen electronic reader, the Kindle DX, is making its way to people’s doorsteps today. We here at TechFlash got our own Kindle DX review loaner in the mail this morning, and immediately unboxed it. See photos below.

First impression: it’s impressively thin, with a tiny keyboard. We’ve turned it over to Bridget, a self-described “gadget freak” in our admin department, who will be checking out the device’s features and functions. Stay tuned for a detailed video demo later today.
