I do not understand what all this fuss is about. Why should we not speculate, talk about any and all rumors and so on? What has this to do with managing expectations about e-books, Kindle, Amazon or whatever?
In the Kindle case I still believe that Amazon is testing the waters right now the way it did with the mp-3 store 2 years ago (remember when the rumors about that started?).
The time is just not right for a massive push into e-books, but it may be late next year, or in 09 when they finally they may secure rights for enough titles to have for once a real shot of pushing e-books into mainstream.
As more of a speculation, I think they wait for a major publisher to do drm-free e-books at reasonable prices and then they will go ahead with Kindle.
