Amazon to release Kindle for textbooks

NEW YORK During a press event Wednesday at Pace University in New York, Amazon founder and Chief Executive Jeff Bezos showed off the device. It has a grayscale screen that is 2½ times as large as the current Kindle, which has a 6-inch diagonal screen. It also includes a QWERTY keyboard like the current Kindle.

The announcement comes three months after Amazon revealed a slimmer, updated version of the original $359 Kindle, which wirelessly downloads books.
