What a treat to invite Amazon to sponsor today’s Kindle Nation Daily Free Bargain Book Alert with the launch of the stylish, brand new, $379 graphite Kindle DX with an all-new 9.7″ diagonal E-ink screen, 50% better contrast, free 3G wireless, and international access to its free web browser with no monthly fees!

It’s ideal for a broad range of reading material, including graphic-rich books, PDFs, newspapers, magazines, and blogs, and its no-glare e-Ink displays means you can take it to the beach, the hammock, your deck, or a summer cruise because you can read in sunlight with no glare or to your bedside night table with a Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 Clip-On Light for the Kindle.

The new Kindle DX is priced at $379, down from the previous price $489, and you can pre-order it now for shipment next Wednesday, July 7. As always, you can test drive this gorgeous global graphite gadget for up to 30 days and return it for a full refund with no questions asked!

Each day’s list is sponsored by one paid title, and of course, we encourage you to support our sponsors. Some of these paid titles will be from our own Kindle Nation Daily press (an imprint of Harvard Perspectives Press), while others will be paid titles from other authors and publishers.
