Photos leaked of new, larger Kindle
We reported a few hours ago on the upcoming Amazon press conference and, now, Engadget has published photos which apparently show leaked images of a new, larger Kindle.
The new Kindle supposedly sports a 9.7-inch screen (that’s 62% larger than the current Kindle readers), and is geared towards magazines, newspapers, and – perhaps – college textbooks.
Apart from the screen size, there appear to be few external changes from the Kindle 2. The blurry photo at right does, however, shows that the Home and Next page are now accompanied by an additional button. Any guesses what that is?
The 5-way controller looks similar, with the two buttons (presumably Menu and Back) above and below the joystick.
We’ll know more on Wednesday morning, or earlier if more spy photos get leaked. You can follow all of the latest on “Kindle 3″ in this KindleBoards thread.
