According to a press release, the Kindle DX with Global Wireless is available for pre-order starting today for $489 online from the U.S. version of Amazon.com and ships Jan. 19.

Kindle with Global Wireless, Amazon’s 6-inch purpose-built reading device, was released in October 2009 and has already shipped to more than 130 countries. Concurrent with the release of that device, the company swapped carrier support for the device from Sprint to AT&T.

AT&T could not be reached before press time to confirm which roaming partners will support the device.

The Kindle Store currently offers international customers more than 300,000 English-language books and more than 100 newspapers and magazines.
