Summer is coming (right?). That usually means a lot of summer reading. However, instead of dragging all of your books, magazines and newspapers around various vacation destinations, an eReader can pack a library's worth of content into one 18.9-ounce portable device.
Amazon wants to get you ready for summer reading season, by offering a one-day deal on the Kindle DX Wireless Reading Device. The device is listed as Amazon's Gold Box Deal of the Day, offering $80 off the regular price. That means you can score the Kindle DX for just $299 shipped, and tote approximately 3500 of your favorite books around all summer long. Take a peek at this deal on Amazon's Gold Box page:
This device features the latest generation of E Ink Pearl technology, which boasts a better contrast, sharp images, and super-clear text. Because the 9.7-inch screen reads like paper, Amazon says you don't really have to worry about glare here.
The Kindle DX also comes packing free 3G wireless access. Just hook into the closest hotspot, and you can download a book in under 60 seconds -- all without a PC. Amazon currently offers over 900,000 books, as well as newspapers, magazines and blogs.
Other features include a built-in PDF reader, an auto-rotating screen, and up to 1 week of battery life (with wireless on) on a single charge. Our own Greg Robinson checked out one of the early Kindle devices saying, "Amazon's Kindle may just be your new best friend."

Because this is Amazon's Gold Box Deal, this price is only good for today, Friday, April 15, 2011. That sale also means that you will score free shipping with this purchase, so get shopping and start reading!
