I came across a humorous parody of the Kindle DX this morning. The funny guys at Atom.com have a brief video of the currently unreleased Kindle 9XXXD, the world’s largest and most powerful e-reader.

There’s no doubt they’re playing on the somewhat unconventional move that Amazon made with their newest reader, the Kindle DX. Most gadgets and devices get smaller and feature rich. The Kindle DX, while offering a few new features, is larger than its predecessors.

Its increase in size really isn’t worthy of much debate. When you consider how Amazon is planning to sell the Kindle DX to schools and students, the larger screen size and native PDF support make an ideal product for the academic market. This helps to explain why I’m hearing of so many Kindle DX Pre-Orders.

I’ve been reading with my Kindle 2 almost every night for the past two months and I must admit that I’m hooked. I don’t know if I can justify moving to the DX when it is released, but I would love to check one out when they become available.
