Kindled

Amazon's new Kindle DX, with bigger screen, comes patented: D591,741. With exceptions, design patents for electronic devices are relatively weak tea compared to the utility variety, and the Kindle is notably stodgy, so it's mostly a vanity patent. Amazon appears not to have any ebook utility patents. What they do have is the best ebook reader on the market, in a market where momentum counts.
