Well, they already have an android based version of the Kindle basic for china ( same 167 ppi screen, no light )

[ Yes, I have downloaded the source code and software updates for this one, it definitely is android based - https://www.amazon.cn/gp/help/custom...eId=202167860]




So I would not be terribly surprised if they release an android based paperwhite, either under this same co-brand they are doing the above for, or just as a general release.

I'm personally convinced they are saving the 6.x.x software range for android.

From that link above, the software update download link is named "Software update 5.7.2.3", but the actual file is named update-kindle-6.1.2_user_612491020.bin
