I jumped to that conclusion due to the wording of the article. It is NOT true that its just a rumor at this point in time.
The detail of that article gives it a lot of substance.
Here is the link to the original article and the word, "rumor," is NOT part of the article. Instead the word, "LEARNED," was used:
http://techcrunch.com/2013/11/24/ama...8TechCrunch%29
"Amazon is now preparing a new Kindle Paperwhite for release in early Q2 of next year, TechCrunch has
learned." That does NOT sound like an IMAGINED rumor.
That article was just posted EIGHT HOURS ago.
Some other posters here have used the word, "rumor," but they did not post links to any articles using that word.
Do you have a link to an Amazon denial or the change to rumor status?
For me the big change is the special font Amazon is developing for this new device. That could be a deal breaker for lots of folks including me if the reviews really praise it. At my age ease of reading is the main reason I keep buying the latest and greatest of the Kindle eReaders.
I'd still recommend that anyone wanting to purchase a PW 2013 now wait for the PW 2014 and, if they really need a new eReader for Christmas, go for the HDX 2013.
