I think if they did, they would offer to switch people to the new Kindle. If they had existing Kindle 1 stock, maybe they could lower the price so the offer would be something like switch to the new Kindle at the same price or get the old one for $300.
Still, I'm not sold on the idea that there's going to be a new 6" product right now. I don't see much benefit in it. Sure, I'd like it if my Kindle had the faster controller but, while they might roll that into the current model, I don't see it mandating a big press conference. Most of the really compelling new hardware isn't ready for mass production from what I've heard. I'd be happy to be surprised and have them blow me away with some great new concept. My guess is it's a new service offering or partnership or a larger-format reader.
