Bookstore on Fire - Kindle's Next Gen

I love a good unveiling.  With the October 4 debut of iPhone 5 (or is it iPhone 4.5?) and Canon lifting the wrapper off of something mysterious on November 4, the next month is going to be neat-o.  Yeah.  I'm bringing back 'neat-o.'

If not, I think they are missing out on some potential marketing genius.

This is quite an interesting piece of technology and may hint at what the future of the book may be.  It's a capable little machine and I wonder if there will be a market for some sort of mixed media once these little devices find their way into our homes.  Can you imagine a book with music clips as you read a page?  Or a video supplement?  Or some kind of Pop Up Video, but you know, for books?
