The textbooks are not a rumor.

As far as TechCrunch, I don't doubt there are other Kindle versions being designed. Bezos himself has said there will be a Kindle 10.0. I don't know if one of the new versions will be out in October as TC reported. That for sure I'll concede is rumor.

There are so many posts daily on the Amazon boards from students who want textbooks on the Kindle and we have confirmation that Amazon actually reads the boards (an employee posted in a thread about the publisher's link problem and they've moved a FAQ started by and added to by board participants to the top of the boards to replace their own). I believe Amazon wants the student market and is going for it. They are listening.
