New images of the 2nd edition Kindle are floating around in cyberspace and Techcrunch is guesstimating that it will be released early 2009 or at the very least, the larger-screen student version will be released then.
 
Apart from the sleeker design, I want to know about the software on this new version. Will Amazon release it's hold on the Kindle-only format and allow all e-books to live together as one happy family? I wouldn't bet on it but I'll be watching…

    Wow is that for real? Looks like much better design, though I believe a black version would look better.

    I hope that they listen to the feedback on the first one so many suggestions on how to improve it and I also hope they drop that price significantly so that it’s affordable.

    Looks better but still ugly!

    Can’t they get Apple to take a crack at it?!

    And any idea if this would be available in Asian markets, say India?
