Yeah the Touch and Keyboard are still there available to buy. Hopefully this signals that the UK will be getting at least one new model without a long wait at least.

This is not the new Kindle but it's a really nice glowlight upgrade for existing models.
I've actually had that item on my Amazon Wish List for some time.

It's strange, I still get the 'Kindle Family' showing the basic Kindle and the Touch on the Amazon homepage, but the link to the £89 goes to a 404 - Not Found page.



Damn this thread, and you in particular kennyc, I don't even plan on buying a new Kindle but I am spending my time reading through this thread and glancing at the new Kobo's and thinking..... why not?!

Does anybody in here think it looks exactly like the Kobo? I sure do. On first glance anyways. I notice too that Kobo just announced a bunch of new readers including a mini (5 inch) and a Kobo-glo. So maybe, just maybe, Kindle has a glow too?? squee!

Hopefully the paperwhite won't be a paper-wait.
Actually you deserve Karma for that post, but the MobileRead Karmaizer won't let me give you any more right now.

Did you see this on the Kobo Glo page:

Because Kobo Glo’s advanced high-res XGA Pearl E Ink screen isn’t made from glass there’s never any glare,

If it's not glass, what is it?

And this:

Kobo Glo’s 6” high-res XGA E Ink Pearl touchscreen is ultra-thin and durable so nothing gets between you and your eBook, not even the brightest sunlight (or a little scratch).

I hope Amazon's new lighted reader will have these specs. WANT!!!

The link's working again. I suspect that someone "jumped the gun" in removing it.
