The highly anticipated Kindle Fire tablet's version 2 is expected to be announced by Amazon on September 6 at a press conference in Santa Monica, California.
The Kindle Fire 2 may come in both 7 inch and 10 inch versions along with an improved Kindle Touch. Though, there has been no official announcement by Amazon, they did announce that the Kindle Fire had sold out forever.
On Amazon.com's page there are no new Kindle Fire's for sale and only second hand Kindles.
The Kindle Fire 2 pre order details will also likely be revealed by Jeff Bezos who is a top executive at Amazon.
Some details of the new Kindle include a higher screen resolution from 1024 x 600 to 1280 x 800. The larger format has already been adopted by other tablets such as the Nexus 7 by Google.
According to CNN Money, the tablet has enjoyed success when it comes to iPad competitors but they may need to step it up when it comes to the Kindle 2. Aaron Kessler, a senior research analyst for Raymond James & Associates recently said, "So far the customer's choice is deciding between high end, Apple, and low end, Amazon. If Apple releases a price competitive [iPad] Mini, that could completely change the low-end market."
The new Kindle Fire 2 release date should be unveiled today at the Amazon press event which starts at 10:30 a.m. PT or 1:30 EST Thursday.
