If you want to know if Amazon ’s novel Kindles are coming out — and what they ’ll be — don’t listen to analyst or supply chains or , yes , blog . One trip to Amazon today will tell you nearly everything you need to cognise about when , and what , Amazon ’s about to let loose on the world .
Out With the Old
When bargain hounds open up theirAmazon Deal of the Dayemail this morning , they were met with a deal cellar Kindle DX . Amazon ’s disastrous sheep 10 - in e - ink lozenge is $ 110 off today , a 29 % discount . It ’s the variety of deal you offer when you want to clear out inventory , fast .
The DX is n’t private-enterprise in an iPad globe . It never has been . But you know what would be ? A10 - inch Kindle Fire . You know , like the one that’sbeen rumored for months .

deal the setting : The DX has long been neglected , ignored even , by Amazon . And rightly so . First introducedin 2009 , the DX has gotten asingle , largely nonmeaningful updatesince . It ’s received no promotional support , despite Amazon ’s evidently levelheaded merchandising budget . Any relevancy it had was hard strangle by the entry of the iPad , and was obliterate when Apple decide toget into the textbook business concern .

So clearly Amazon ’s trying to discharge a product it does n’t need to stand any more . In fact , it has n’t support the DX in two old age . So why clear them out now ? Because all those 10 - column inch Kindle DX boxes are taking up valuable ledge space , especially when there are 10 - column inch LCD exemplar coming in to replace it .

And it ’s not just the DX.Every individual Lightning Dealtoday is Kindle - related : cases , speaker docks , sleeves . Sixteen deals in all , a waterfall of discount rate . It ’s a fire sale , if you ’ll pardon the pun . All of those accessories will presumably still be compatible with an updated 7 - inch Kindle Fire , sure . But Amazon wo n’t need nearly as many of them if its market place is split between two sizes .
A Brighter Future
If it were just the DX and the accessory bonanza , you could chalk it all up to ( still a very compelling ) happenstance . But it ’s not .
Amazon ’s done making the old genesis of Kindle Touch . Plain and simple . Those assembly lines stopped turn over some metre ago . Except unlike the Kindle DX there ’s still enough Kindle Touch demand to let them give out off naturally .
As they should ! Amazon ’s been such a innovator in the ereader space that it ’s unusual to reckon of it as behind the curve , but that ’s exactly the position it ’s been in ever since theNook Simple Touch with GlowLightcropped up five month ago . Nearly half a class is a very , very long time for Amazon to cede the front - lit ereader space . Too long , particularly considering rumors of a front - illuminate Kindle Touchstarted burble upin May .

Remember : This is how Amazon — and any other society with provision chain efficiency dial down to a science — let go of raw products . Kindle 2showed up as sold outthe break of the day of July 28 , 2010 . That same afternoon , Amazonintroduced Kindle 3to the world .

There ’s zero chance Amazon outs its most hard anticipate product in a class on a summer Friday . But there ’s also no way it stays out of stock certificate of some of its most pop ware for more than a few days . Which means we ’re go to see newfangled Kindles of every stripe next week .
Timing Is Everything
And even if all the sign were n’t pointing to a massive Kindle refresh before long , the timing would still make sense . expect much longer , and all your press aid gets swallow up bySeptember ’s iPhone Jamboree .

But more importantly , commend who the Kindle and Kindle Fire are idealistic tools for : student . Specifically , college kids who may not have enough disposable income for an iPad but desire to put as many textbooks ( or , for English John R. Major , free public domain Emily Bronte ebooks ) on a lozenge or ereader as possible to relieve backpack space and beer money . Fall semester , depending on where you go , starts late August or early September . And the Kindles you ’ll be bringing back to school with you wo n’t be last class ’s models .

A DX giveaway putting that mammoth out to ley . Some betray - out Kindle Touches making way for a much - call for technological catch - up . The new Kindles are amount next hebdomad ; all of them will be front - lit , and one of them will be a big Kindle Fire . Just commend that did n’t hear it from some psychoanalyst . Amazon as adept as told you itself .
Update : Frankthepirate notes in the discussionsbelow that he last week have an pass for “ 40 % off choice Kindles and Kindle accessories with my Amazon Visa card , ” another sure sign that Amazon ’s trying to clear out as much stocktaking as possible short of in reality giving it away .
