Amazon to launch Kindle e-book reader on Monday?

November 16, 2007 – 9:44 am

At this point we’ve heard so many predicted launch dates for Amazon’s Kindle ebook reader we’re a little jaded about the whole thing, but CNET is reporting that their always-reliable “industry sources” have confirmed a Monday launch for the device and service. The specs will apparently remain consistent with what we’ve been hearing for so long now — $399, 6-inch screen, no integrated backlight, WIFi, EV-DO on Sprint for OTA book purchases, and a big ol’ dose of the ugly — but rumors are rumors, so don’t get too mopey if Monday comes and goes with no announcement.
