Ok... so my feeling is that they are not going to announce a new 6inch device. It will be one of the following in order to my mind of possibility:

1. A new firmware versions for the current device that adds some major features. Could be:
a. Folder support
b. ePub support
c. PDF support

2. The sale of Kindle books for non-Kindle devices.

3. A GSM rev of the same device for Europe and/or Asia and/or Australia.

4. A larger screen sized unit

5. A rev of the current device with the Epson controller or move to the plastic screen.

6. Least likely a whole new rev of the 6inch device with different case similar to pics that were previously leaked. Although non-replaceable battery and no SD card slot seem like steps backward that I can't see them taking.
