If you don’t need to give the gift of e-reading this Holiday season, hold off! Amazon may be updating their Kindle reading devices for ebooks. According to the latest reports from The Boy Genius Report, version 2 will come towards the latter half of February 2009:
-Today’s rumors are way off and Amazon indeed intends to start shipping out the current Kindle model for orders placed recently, leaving the Kindle 2 release for later in the year.
-Amazon may be putting off fulfillment and we can indeed look forward to a mid to late February release for the Kindle 2.
-Amazon plans to offer the current and updated Kindle models concurrently, which would definitely piss off anyone who orders the first-generation model between now and February.
The Kindle allows readers to purchase and download books over the air through the built-in cellular radio; users don’t have to worry about a monthly subscription for the wireless service as that is built into the cost of the device.
The second version had been previously rumored to come in time for the Holiday shopping season, but was pushed back.
