Rumored pictures of the Kindle 2 surface

We are only a few days away until Amazon unveils the Kindle 2. While not much is known about the device at this time, a few pictures and even a price have surfaced in a forum.

Rumor has it that the Kindle 2 is going to cost $359 and will be available on February 24, 2009. The pictures below indicate a few things: since the Kindle 2 is pictured next to a pencil, we can tell that it is a lot thinner than previously imagined, and from the back image, we can see two small speakers located on either side of the device. Since no official word has been given by Amazon, and there probably won’t be an official word until Monday, I can’t say if this is 100% the real deal. However, it does look pretty legitimate to me.

Only time will tell how factual this rumor is, so stay tuned for continuing coverage at Amazon’s unveiling event!
