Things change.
At this point all we know is Bezos took the unusual step of tweeting about it.
Which he doesn't normally do.
It could be a Liquavista Kindle or it could be an Alexa Kindle or it could be a wearable Kindle. Or it could be "just" a new and improved Voyage.
With Amazon you never know.

Turns out there's more than one new Kindle incoming.
And the cover with a battery is a solar cover. |

He said that the new Kindle we're going to hear about next week lacks the haptic feedback found on the Voyage (yay!) but may have page turn buttons (double yay!) and accelerometers.

I really love the haptic feedback page turn sensors on the Voyage. I would much prefer those to regular page turn buttons or swipes on a newer Kindle. If what he says is true I hope it's for the mid-range model and not the high-end one.
