The Fire HD 6 was released in fall 2014, 2 years ago! I thought at the time it would be a great seller, and bought 3 for my family, and later another for my mother. (All 4 are working fine and have never had a problem).

Since then, it has been on permanent sale for a long, long time.

Was it not such a great seller?

Will they quietly discontinue it when their stock is gone? Surely it is not still in production with the permanent sale?

I would love a 2nd edition, preferably thinner and lighter, but with the same screen, faster would be nice, too. Is it a pipe dream? Yes there are 5" phones but those are also a LOT more expensive.
