I guess there's no significance in the drawing.
It has more buttons and three layers.

There's absolutely no reason for me to buy another Kindle now, even if it has a new glorious Paperwhite frontlit screen that's ideal for reading in all lighting conditions. No reason at all. Oh, geeze, I'm so weak. Somebody help me. No, no, no, no! I will not buy.
And if that same merciful person could swing past central Illinois and do the same for me, I'd greatly appreciate it! *glances guiltily at recently purchased Google Nexus tablet* I already have something for reading at night, thankyouverymuch!

So um.. yeah. Obvious question. Assuming one DOES want one. Any clues on when that might be likely to happen, if - say - someone had a birthday soon.


I don't see any reports on when we can order one, or am I missing something obvious as usual.

thanks oh enwizened ones. err or is that with an s? birthdays always make people mispell things I find... Like their age for example...

Seems like everyone is getting into the "glow" eInk business now. Kobo announced a new line of ereaders, one of them with "glow" technology (and a higher res screen similar to the iRiver). Wonder if the Kindle will be the same specs?

I certainly hope so, the specs look excellent to me.

By a strange coincidence, I just happened to remember that today's my birthday. You may ship the presents to my home in Chesapeake, Virginia.

Well we are a bunch of nerds, yes, salivating at the thought of high resolution damage resistant lightable screens!

I prefer the look of the Kindle Touch. The black makes me think they're going back to the K-3.

I've never liked the look of the Kindle basic or touch. One reason I've never owned one.

Now if we are talking kitchen appliances and pots, I am all for brushed or shiny stainless steel. But not my Kindle. I do have a red Sony, which is quite nice. My daughter has a white aluratek color reader, which is ok. I prefer the black.

The black will make the E ink appear even whiter than it really is which is a plus in my book.

I hope that there won't be any problems with the screen developing a "light hole" like in the nook glow.

Hopefully they figured out the cause of that and took precautions.
