Again, I'm sorry to repeat myself, but there's a massive gulf between the research lab and the shelf of the local store. Look at all the promised devices in the reading world which have failed to make that transition - Plastic Logic is an excellent example.
I'm not doubting the fact that there's a lot of exciting research going on in this area, but you need to realise that research does not always translate into commercially viable products, and even when it does, the process generally takes many, many years.
I honestly wouldn't get my hopes up of seeing a Kindle with new battery technology this October, next October, or even the October after that. You're going to be disappointed if you do.
