Flash! Current Kindle six inch sold out
The current Kindle six inch (AKA the Kindle 2 international) has been sold out for at least 24 hours now.
While Kindles do sell out from time to time, it’s not unreasonable to speculate that they allowed the stock to dwindle in anticipation of the release of a new model (which would presumably be a Kindle six inch Graphite).
That doesn’t mean the old one would be gone: Amazon is currently carrying both a Kindle DX ($359) and a Kindle DX Graphite ($379). The Graphite has better contrast.
Could it also mean that there’s some Jetsons version of the Kindle about to be released, maybe with color, a touchscreen…and, um, a jetpack? 
Maybe…but I’m going to guess a Kindle six inch Graphite within the next week. ;)

I think you know the kindle audience too well! That is exactly what I want! ;>
I’d settle for a second price cut on the kindle 2 second gen though….

Thanks for writing, draegi!
We’ll see what happens…they might wait until August 1st…or they might do nothing at all.
They are presumably losing quite a bit of money not having the most purchased item (?) on Amazon available…that’s not a situation that they’ll want to have go on very long.
