Have gizmodo published details of how we can all collect our $110? Yet another example of the total unreliability of so-called "news" bloggers.

I read your post and laughed at first. 'What you need more convincing??' LOL But then I went to M-edge's site & the first thing on it says covers are coming for the new Kindles. So....yes they're coming but when, who knows. |

Anyway, there wouldn't want to be a new one coming, I just upgraded to a K4 during the week (local supermarket in Aus is selling them out at $60AUD each, and $20 for the covers). Oh forgot to add, currently there is the K4, K-Touch and K-Keyboard. Surely with all three in stock Amazon wouldn't release a 4th Kindle right now. I could be wrong but to me it seems they'd be flooding their own market with multiples of their own devices competing. Last edited by Solicitous; 08-18-2012 at 07:05 PM. |

Just consider that Amazon sells eight to ten million eink Kindles a year and have moved 6 million FIREs so far. That kind of volume allows for differentiation to address different user preferences; some folks *like* keyboards; others prefer Cheap & basic, small-and-light; while others prefer touch screens. (And let's not get into WiFi vs 3G.) One reason why Amazon sells eight to ten million kindles a year is *because* they have so many variants; you can have it (more or less) your way. ![]() Last edited by fjtorres; 08-18-2012 at 07:57 PM. |

Never for once did I interpret the article's title to be a bet. It's simply a reference to the price drop as being an indicator of new models. I fail to see how anyone can see a bet in there.
