I seriously doubt that this is a black Kindle, but there is a slim possibility. Someone sent this to CrunchGear. It was taken in a coffee shop in Seattle. It’s much more likely that this is another large screen e-reader. I also just find it implausible that (assuming it’s real) Amazon would be so sloppy [...]
