Hi from MI
I am possibly interested in the next version of the Kindle v.3 or higher.. Yes I know that v.2 is out there. I am trying to find out about the "larger" version for text books and if and when a possible version w/ color is going to be made.

At $360 it is above my price point, at $150 I would not hesitate to buy it.


I was using my phone to browse the web (HTC / ATT Tilt win-mob 6.1) and had gone to the Amazon site and saw something about a newsletter devoted to the kindle. I did not get a chance to sign up and when I went back I could not locate the info again. ... any information would be appreciated.

Welcome, samsoltan.

First, a V2 is NOT out there. At least it hasn't been released yet, and until Amazon themselves announce it I wouldn't be believing any 'leaked' pictures, or rumors you may have read.

A $150 price point I don't think is feasible just yet....hope you are prepared to wait. Color is also not in the works, because of the e-ink display used......here's a link from June

I do get a "Whats new on Kindle" newsletter, but it just highlights the newest books released. I don't subscribe to it (checked my account) and apparently Amazon sends it to Kindle owners.

You might want to check out our "Which one should I buy" forum for other devices which would work for you.
Good luck in your search!

I would guess you will probably need to wait until a least the end of 2012 to get a large format with color eInk type screen. By then I doubt $150 will be the price. But, hopefully you will be in a better position to pay a bit more for it in that time.
