Expected? No.
Rumored? Yes.
There have been reports of a thinner, lighter, WiFi-equipped Kindle code-named Shasta. It is unclear if this would be a 3G+WiFi design or a WiWi-only design.
With the recent intro of a Graphite DX with a next-gen screen and the announcemennt from the screen supplier of a new generation of screens the likelihood of a Kindle refresh became reasonable.
The rumors had the announcement pegged for August.

As with all rumors, take this with a pound of salt.
