So much for Amazon’s attempts to quell Kindle 2 rumors, eh? Talk of a replacement (or a pair of replacements) for Amazon’s popular — but very oddly-styled — e-reader has been in the mix seemingly since the first model started shipping, and Boy Genius Report has scored shots of something that certainly looks like it could be in the valid pipeline. The revised device appears to address complaints by the original’s look head-on, rounding the corners and ditching the oddball angles; the scroll wheel has been replaced with a joystick, the SD slot is gone (don’t concern, there’s at least a gig and a half on-board), and around back, we have grills that seem to propose integrated stereo speakers. The display is basically the same size — no color here yet, sorry — so unless the sharp edges on your first-gen piece are driving you batty, it looks like that could be safely skipped by current owners while roping in new buyers who

wouldn’t have considered it before. Thing is, was ditching the scroll wheel and that trick mirrored bar in favor of a joystick really the right way to go?
