Rumor has it, Amazon will be debuting the “Kindle,” its E-Book reader on Monday, adding even more strength to its already powerful online book store.
The rumors came from Reuters who cited a source from the Wall Street Journal today in an article sourcing two insiders who anticipate the announcement will be made at an event in New York City on Monday.
The sources said the much anticipated device will involve the launch of “Kindle” editions of books already on the site. The insiders said Amazon has already been installing inactive links.
According to CNET, a Web site that provides reviews and news about technology, the "Kindle" is equipped with a Wi-Fi connection that can access Amazon's e-book store, where users purchase new electronic books. CNET said the final price of the Kindle is expected to be $399.
Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for confirmation.
CNET said the Kindle comes with a headphone jack for audiobooks, as well as an e-mail address.
The device also includes a feature enabling users to download digital editions of The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal each morning, CNET said.
