Speculation about whether or not Apple is - or should be - preparing an ebook reader has been floating around for over a year, and has recently picked up steam - even here at The Reg, where this morning we pointed out that long-time Apple analyst Gene Munster of Piper Jaffray ses a "Kindle-killer" coming out of Cupertino early next year.
But speculation is just that - Webster defines "speculate" as "to take to be true on the basis of insufficient evidence."
But Friday's report from the oft-reliable DigiTimes adds to the mounting evidence. Exactly when that volume of evidence will graduate from insufficient to sufficient remains ... well ... a matter of speculation.

Khm, I already addressed this story:

It pays to read the topic sometimes...
There's nothing new about Apple readying a
tablet but this topic is about a "Kindle killer" I believe - which just ain't gonna happen anytime soon.
Simply economics are not there yet, especially not with Apple's exorbitant profit margin (look at MB Air, it's a giant flop, just Apple won't admit it.)
