If you look at Amazon's home page with the Kindle lineup, it doesn't look like they are positioning these as the K4; it looks more like they are supposed to be supplemental to the existing K3 (err, Kindle Keyboard), but basically of the same generation. |

No Amazon-made cover for the Fire, yet. There's an "official" one from Marware, but hopefully Amazon will make their own.

This is the first time I've thought a Kindle looks good. All of the others just weren't sleek enough for my tastes, but I actually LOVE the look of the Kindle Touch, compared to the new Sony PRS-T1. the new Sony has a shiny border, which is a total no-no, and I love the matte grey color of the Kindle. I think I'll get a 3G Kindle Touch, just haven't decided on Special Offer vs. no Special Offer..

I was looking forward to the new Kindles but unfortunately none of these seem like an upgrade from the K3 to me. I think I'll just skip this generation of e-readers.

Amazon's intention is selling stuff, using these devices as a marketing tool!!! Selling digital products is the cheapest thing you can do on Internet. Zero cost of manufacturing, you just pay for host, and that's it. To give you an idea, the cost of making the HP Touch pad is around $300.00, and it's for HP, which has the largest supply change in the world. Yes, I see B&N in serious problems here. |
