Kindle 2.0 finally coming out?

Rumors abound that Amazon will announce the next version of Kindle during a press conference scheduled for Feb. 9th.
For Amazon’s sake, I hope this leaked picture of Kindle 2.0 is very, very fake. Otherwise, they just took 2 years to round off a few corners and ignore every other glaring flaw in the design of this thing.
Maybe I’m partial to my Sony Reader, but I can’t imagine dealing with that enormous keyboard the 99% of the time I don’t use it.
If Amazon lowers its price by about $100, and gets internal PDF support, they might have a ballgame. Otherwise, despite Sony’s terrible software, the Reader will still be a superior device.
After months of production delays, a Kindle 2.0 with no major improvements will put the cap on a year of spectacular ereader botching by Amazon. I hope, for the future of ebooks, that they put up a fight.
