I don't see the problem. Every consumer electronics company is announcing new products for release later this year, aren't they? Aside from that, the wording does not amount to a real announcement anyway:
Quote:
A new Reader model, likely adding wireless capability, will likely appear within the year as new rivals, namely Amazon.com, are expected to enter the market, he said.

In other words, the Reader is doing well and they might expand the market. (Note: "likely".) Doesn't Apple release new iPods every year? As long as Connect books continue to work, I see no problem with this.
