I don't plan to buy a new Kindle, but I'm very excited to see what's announced today!

Want is a perfectly good reason

Obvious shots of the new Kindle tablet and ereader although they weren't mentioned.
Shocked this hasn't been reported on Engadget yet.
LoL wow! Very good eye!! How exciting!! Reports say that it will have a rear camera; I'm still holding out hope for the front facing cam I longed for in the first Fire! Kountdown!!!! *fluffing up my pom poms*

I have a K3 now. Since I have a book published, and working on others, I should buy the latest versions to make sure my books are presented correctly. Tax deduction, correct?

I was more interested in seeing what Amazon is going to announce. But now that Kobo has already announced a new 6" reader with ePub, 1ghz processor, 1024x768 display & glo, the Kindle announcement is not as interesting. The odds of Amazon being able to up the anti and out do Kobo is not going to happen (IMHO).

If I were the taxman, I'd allow deductions for all ereaders. After all, they are educational devices, are they not?

For software, book covers as screensaver.

Everything else a bonus!
Forget page turn buttons. They are a thing of the past.

It's interesting for Kindle owners. I'm not going to buy an ePub reader, but I'll certainly buy a new Kindle if it's of sufficient interest to me.

What's the point, if Amazon were to announce a new Kindle e-reader with exactly the same spec or slightly better than the new Kobo Glo, you'll state the Kobo is the better option immaterial of what it's like in practice, and will probably still be telling everyone the PRS-T2 is the best option anyway.

I am pretty much waiting to hit the add to cart button, my Kindle keyboard screen died a few weeks ago and have been using my wife's kindle waiting for the announcement so I hope they are available right away and that it is a similutanious worldwide release and not just US otherwise I will have the hassle of getting it posted to someone in the states and then on to me......sigh....still cant wait
