Amazon show zero interest in a model outside the vanilla 6". If they were going to release a 6.8" or a 5" like Kobo, they would have done so by now. Variety and choice is not part of Amazon's e-ink strategy. For that, one must look to models produced by non-American companies.

It seems the Basic Kindle can once again be ordered, with or without ads. Amazon's page says they'll ship in 2 or 3 weeks.

I hope there is a new Kindle but the fact is that my old Kindle is so very good that I'm not sure I'll buy one. I might. I might not. But if there is one there'll be lots and lots to talk about for a while.

Thanks to this forum I discovered the lightning deal on a refurbished PW2. Managed to order one as a backup. I was on a trip and thought I had lost my Kindle. Thankfully I found it in the boot of the car. How did it get there?
I am still rooting for a PW3 coming out in the next few weeks. |

Still very happy with my 1st gen Kindle 4. What I really want is a waterproof PW with a flex screen.

I'm still happy with my first generation Paperwhite, but if they came out with a model that floated in front of my face and scanned my eyes in order to know when to automatically turn the page for me, that would be great.

Is new PW imminent?
I'm pretty sure we all know that. What's wrong with speculation and discussion?

It probably doesn't mean anything, but the PW2 (Wi-Fi) page on Amazon says "In stock but may require an extra 1-2 days to process."
It seems sort of odd, but probably just a backlog issue, maybe from people ordering the new 4GB versions. The PW2 (3G) page is normal-- in stock, no mention of any delay. |

Yeah I don't understand why some people are bothered by speculation? Since i've owned my first Kindle in 2010, they've released a new one each year, so it's a pretty good guess they'll come out with some sort of refresh (unless you believe Amazon is killing the Kindle off and never releasing a new model). We're into September now, so if it happens it should be within the next month or so.
