Business Week's Tech Beat blog confirms the Kindle 2 is coming. It says:
Amazon.com plans to unveil a larger-screen model of its Kindle e-book player, aimed at students, in the coming months. And I'm also hearing some details about an upgrade of the base model, that I'm told is coming in September (though Wright Ragen thinks it may be in October). My sources say the new version is significantly thinner, has a better screen, is more stylish and includes fixes to some of the user interface annoyances with the first version. One person that has seen the device says it is as big a leap from its predecessor as the iPod mini was from the first iPod. "They've jumped from Generation One to Generation Four or Five. It just looks better, and feels better," says the source.
We can at least hope that Kindle 2.0 will also have been designed with international sales in mind, and that it will eventually appear at Amazon.co.uk....
