People had to go to a site aimed at discussing topics about eReaders, then click a link labeled "Poll: When will Amazon announce their new Kindle line up?", then vote for "Who gives a flying fig."

BTW, I'm not saying this with sarcasm. I really do think it is funny.
I'd vote for that!

A glow screen could actually get me interested in a Kindle Touch. I ended up passing on it as an upgrade because there wasn't enough to get me to part with my money. However, a glowing screen could almost tip the balance for me. I really would use that.

Sorry for my ignorance, but does anybody know whether Amazon have plans to be able to create folders within folders on the Kindle and also able to control/drag 'n drop books into created folders in the near future rather than manually selecting books individually on the device itself. Or can the latter already be possible via Calibre?

I am not all that tech minded with Calibre or the Kindle personally.

Thanks.

I imagine it will be early enough to have tons of publicity and chatter well before Black Friday in November. So late August, or sometime in September.

Dag! I noticed the sale price on certain models, but didn't connect the dots. And the Touch is out of stock? This may indeed mean that November is coming in August this year!!!

Damn you, Amazon! Just when I was feeling good about having the latest and the greatest!

Will we finally see color eInk?

It looks like the lightning deals are Kindle related today: http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox?ref_=pe_36900_25153150

They are definitely clearing space.

Kindle Touch SO $99? Can I change my vote to sometime in August?

The Fire is still $199, though. I guess maybe no new 7" tablet this time? Hey—maybe they'll come out with a larger model Fire!

Two months ago i would probably have jumped at a Kindle Amber or whatever they will call the front lit version. However, after reading on my Galaxy Note, the next gen Kindle really needs to offer something more. As far as I know there is no new superior eInk screen in production, or have I missed something?
