New Kindle comparison pics!

I ordered the new Kindle!  This is the new one that is just called "Kindle" on the Amazon website, the $79.00 one.  This is the one that is in stock and ready to order, there are two other kindles (Kindle Touch and Kindle Fire) that are not available until November.  It is VERY small!  They should have called it the Kindle Squeeeeee or something :P    ***note that it still has the shiny plastic on it from shipping***
Here is a shot of it with a Kindle 2 and a Kindle 3 (kindle keyboard now)

Here is a shot of the new Kindle and the Nook Touch.  New kindle is about the same height, maybe a smidge taller, and a bit skinnier.  It also has new screensavers/sleep images (no more dead authors) letters, fountain pens and assorted letter-ish things.

I wish Amazon had called it something besides just kindle, like Pocket Kindle or Kindle Mini.  It will be veeery confusing having so many kindle types running around.

Here's a shot of the backs of Nook Touch and new Kindle.  The kindle has a smooth flat back, slightly rubberized.  The USB port and power button are centered on the bottom edge.  I think those two dots on the back just above the bottom may be light powering doohickeys for the lighted cover.

Finally, a happy family portrait of all of my eReader models  :)
