“Print to Kindle:” What could make the DX almost worth its price tag

The big hang up on the new Amazon Kindle DX is the incredibly high price ($489). The large e-ink display certainly is easy on the eyes, but hard on the wallet. Some people even speculate that the DX was introduced, in part, to make the Kindle 2 seem less pricey.

Here’s the real killer application for the large screen DX — make it a virtual printer available on your network. Imagine a printer that never runs out of ink or paper. Never. Think about why you print things. You want a portable and easy to read version of whatever you were looking at on your screen.
