Amazon’s head puppet Craig Berman spoke to NYT’s Brad Stone about the possibility of a new Kindle this year and here’s what he had to say,
“Don’t believe everything you read,” Mr. Berman said. “There’s a lot of rumor and speculation about the Kindle. One thing I can tell you for sure is that there will be no new version of the Kindle this year. A new version is possible sometime next year at the earliest.”
Were we duped? We’ll have to wait and see.
I contacted Amazon a few days ago inquiring about pre orders for the new Kindle and here is the response I received. I am really disappointed.
