I'm expecting both a touch screen Kindle 4 and an Android tablet.
The tablet is pretty much a no brainer with Amazon's move into the cloud and the opening of its own appstore. What's interesting in the way of available book readers in the appstore is that the Nook app is missing. Kobo is there and so is Aldiko, but not Nook. This leads me to speculate that Amazon's tablet will be similar to the Nook Color (with improved specs) and priced around $229 or a bit lower. It will also be locked into Amazon's appstore, since the Nook app is available in the Android Market.
This is a tablet I'd definitely get and wouldn't even bother rooting. Amazon's appstore is large enough for my needs. The only reason I rooted my Nook Color was to gain access to an appstore.
