They did say there will be a new Kindle before the end of the year.

Did they also mention *what* year? If not, then CS is basically right, regardless of the time of introduction

I have a Fire Phone in my shirt pocket. Before that I had a Moto G 1st generation. Before that a Samsung Galaxy Player 4.2. Before that it was an Archos 4.3 Android device. I have no phone service on this thing. It's a small computer that lives in my shirt pocket. I put it in my pocket when I dress in the morning and it stays there till I go to bed at night.

I've been doing this now for about 5 years, or thereabouts. I've never had a problem. I'm reasonably careful but only that. I once dropped the Archos when I bent over. It was my only accident so far and no detectable damage was done.

I do agree with you that there's some risk in doing this but not a lot. It's pretty safe.

Oh yeah, when I first got my Kobo Mini I carried that in the front pocket of my pants for a few months. It was in there by itself so no keys or coins could scratch it. I still found myself reading on my phone when I was out of the house so I gave that up. A neighbor is still using that Mini and it's just fine.

Smartphones are much better built, as far as the screen goes, than eInk readers. An eInk reader has a very fragile layer in the screen that can very easily get cracked if the reader is bumbed, dropped, or even set down too hard. Smartphones are tough enough for a pocket, at least a shirt pocket, but eInk readers can get a cracked screen if too much pressure is applied to them, so be careful if you carry one in your pocket.

Aren't the eink readers called "Kindle", and the lcd tablets are called "Fire"; their is no mention anymore of Kindlewhen refering to the LCD Fire tablets?

Actually, with Amazon's branding over the last few years, they've dropped the "Kindle" name for their tablets--they are just "Amazon Fires" now. Kindles refer to their e-ink devices. So unless they change their marketing strategy again, any new Kindle will be an e-ink device.

That being said, it is apparent (by looking at the calendar) that Amazon did not release any new Kindles in September of 2015.

Gah! To be quite honest, the release of a new, E-ink dedicated ereader from Amazon does not look particularly promising anymore, regardless of the questionably worded phrases from CS reps and whatever... Perhaps now someone needs to ask a CS rep for a new dedicated ereader/E-ink device release? Haha...
Im getting sick and tired of opening up these forums and being constantly disappointed! Both by the lack of any new Kindle ereader info AND no signs whatsoever of .kfx compatibility for Android devices

Considering the Paperwhite 3 was released in the Summer I find it hard to imagine another version being released this year.

My own Kindle is three years old to the day, on December 12, 2015.

Now everybody knows that technical stuff has to be replaced every three years, no? So I have to have something new. On the other hand, I'll only have read around 100 books on this device, which is not a lot, and it's not broken...
