Amazon's Next-Gen Kindle Seen Early
February 9th is still hours away, but there's little doubt about what
Amazon will unveil this coming Monday at a library in New York. A whole
gaggle of rather official looking press images have surfaced in the
run-up to the event, and they sure look convincing. At this point, it
would actually be a shock if Jeff Bezos didn't introduce the second Kindle to the world, and if these shots prove accurate, we'd guess this
one will stay just as "sold out" as the original seemed to.
Actual specifications about the next-generation e-reader have yet to be
revealed, but it's obvious that the device is slimmer, sleeker, sexier
and just more attractive than the existing Kindle. We're also told that
the unit should be available for ordering on the 24th of this month for
$359, but we wouldn't bet the farm on those figures quite yet.
Get ready digital bookworms -- it looks like the second iteration of
Amazon's entry into the hardware arena is but hours, minutes and
seconds away.
