It also looks like they have an "Amazon Upgrade" store just like they have a "Kindle Store". There are just over 68,500 books in the "Amazon Upgrade" store. So it looks like there are no implications for a Kindle 2.0 and this was just some half-hearted venture they launched even before they developed the current version of the Kindle.




Sorry to have gotten anyone's hopes up.
Not to worry. Speaking strictly for myself, I am perfectly content with my Kindle as it is. I don't need color, folders, bigger screen, etc. Even if they came out with a new one tomorrow, and offered a 1-1 trade, I wouldn't take advantage...
