Photos of the new Kindle?
Is this the Kindle 2?
Photos of the new and improved Kindle are starting to circulate through the blogosphere, with Engadget noting that the electronic book reader appears to be much thinner than the previous version and has built-in stereo speakers. Amazon.com is expected to unveil the new device -- rumored to be selling for $359 -- at 7 a.m. Monday. The news spread after the MobileRead forum posted the photos.
Eric Engleman reported this week on Amazon's plans to offer books on mobile devices, a move that he says could undercut the Kindle. And he noted an analyst's report that said sales of the electronic book reader could reach $1.2 billion by 2010.
