Who is this author? Since when does "disintermediating an industry" mean "selling and subsidizing the products of an industry"?
And what pundits -didn't- predict a larger Kindle Fire? I thought that was a signed and sealed rumor straight from WSJ+Amazon themselves.

- eli 14y agoThe author has been around quite a long time, but he is better known lately for his (perhaps intentionally) counterintuitive opinions and goofy predictions. I think, sadly, he is going more for pageviews than credibility. But to answer your second question, "Amazon next week will announce two 7-inch Kindle Fire models, one with new hardware and the other an updated version of the original, CNET has learned. That's counter to rumors it would launch a larger version."
