I know there has been a lot of talk here about what we think the new 2014 Kindle readers will be like but I would like to add some information to the discussion. I have done some reading of literature from Intel and they are talking about the latest chips that they have put on the market, a fourth generation I7 micro-processors. From what I have heard the new Kindles will have longer battery life, as if they are not long enough as they are, and the new units will be physically smaller from front to back. The new readers will have much shorter, what is frequently called the hang time, in other words the amount of time it takes your reader from the time you tap on a book to the time the time the book is displayed on your screen.

Can anyone add any additional information?
