Not likely, but no way to tell until it either happens or we look back months later and laugh at such a prediction. My guess is that that rumor, which has been around for months in different configurations, is just a fantasy rumor. It was originally rumored to happen for the 2013 Fall release of the Paperwhite 2013. That didn't happen. I've seen more images of this supposed prototype, and it looks more like a Kindle Fire than a Kindle eInk. My guess is that the images are of a prototype that might or might not ever be produced. I doubt seriously that it is an eInk device. Amazon has traditionally released ALL of the eInk readers and Kindle Fires within a few week time span in the Fall. I don't see that changing.
