Amazon to hold press conference on September 6th Amazon has announced a press conference for September 6th, in which it is expected to unveil an updated line of Kindle devices, including a successor Kindle Fire.
Most believe Amazon will reveal a 10-inch device to complement its current 7-inch model.

The e-tailing giant sent of the invites today for the event in California. Last year, around the same time, CEO Jeff Bezos showed off the Kindle Fire, which was the first full-functioning tablet to come at a cheap $199 price.

Now, however, the Nexus 7 reigns supreme at the $199 price point, with much better specs and a stronger feature set based on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.

According to recent research, Kindle Fire sales have slowed to a crawl as consumers wait on the sequel.
