New Kindle pic?
This is a .jpg image of the current Kindle "cleaned" up and placed in different settings. Ok, still ugly, but think it is closer to what it could look like?

But it's not AS ugly as before. Lighting helps?

If anyone want's to post the thumbnail in the thread that would be awesome or is this a stupid idea on my part?

Hey they didn't announce anything, so I figured a new Kindle pic was in order. I also wanted to see how close I could get to how the actual thing might actually look.

Yeah, actually I think the fact that it's brighter makes it look a lot better. I think what made it so darn ugly in the original pic is the really bad tan 1970's lighting/coloring.

On a whim, I color adjusted and brightened the original pic up and noticed that it looked pretty decent. Then I put it in a better setting and it almost looks "buyable" now.

I was gonna get real elaborate on it but I only had 15 minutes left on my break, so it was a quickie job. I'm sure it's thinner than my pics make it look and if it was metallic or dark blue like the Sony, it would sorta rock!
