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.
