A lot of software companies have traditionally used "LE" in the past to denote a limited edition of the more expensive software package. For example, Photoshop Elements was originally called Photoshop LE to make sure buyers understood they were getting a stripped down and highly "limited" version of Photoshop.

Unless the official name is catchy, I'll just call it the kindle glow anyway or more likely, the KG to go with the KNT and KT :P

The number depends on firmware major version. Searching for KT at MobileRead will find mostly Kobo Touch. The 6-inch eink Kindles are called Kn, where n is the major firmware version. The Kindle Fire is version 6, so the new kindle will probably be K7 (or whatever its major firmware version is). The DX and DXG both run 2.x firmware (same as the Kindle 2), and things could get even more complicated if the new kindle model uses the same firmware as a K4 or K5.
I am guessing the new one will be K7, because the Kindle Fire already uses 6.x firmware. |

I was gonna make a 'cassette' joke, but then just remembered than nobody would get it, unless you speak french... (K is more or less pronounced 'kah', and 7 like 'set' in French. Hence the K7 == cassette thing...).
Anyway. Barkeep! More drinks. |

A beautiful woman is reading in her bedroom. The lights go out.
"The new Kindle Sex. It's better in the dark." Then the Kindle lights up. |
