Yes, that's the rumor from engadget. But the Frankfurt Book Fair is the largest in the world and Amazon is giving two talks - one yesterday and one Saturday. It made sense to me that they would lead the public announcement (maybe even initial sales) with presentation to the publishing world a couple of days in advance. I think I was overly anxious in assuming it would be yesterday. Sorry.

My hopes are still that they'll present good, relevant information on Saturday and that Alex and Keith will be there to hear it.

Either that or it's been released already and hidden in that damned table lamp thing I keep getting when I search Amazon for 'Kindle'. I'm morally certain that that lamp shade is a large screen backlit eink display!
