I don't believe a new eInk device will be revealed this week, but likewise, I don't believe Amazon has any intention of giving up on eInk. There are too many of us who like reading outside during daylight hours, and as the owner of an iPad I can tell you that there's no comparison. iPads and other tablets are fine for low light settings, but for reading on the deck at midday, they suck.
I think the Kindle Tablet will be the big announcement in a few days. Their app store is up and running, and their website has already be redesigned to be more tablet-friendly. The handwriting is on the touch screen.
