Ah, So

A touch screen replacement for the K4 in the model line-up.
It almost had to happen, they have been making the K4 for the "least cost" end of the product line for a long time now.

Link also claims "twice the book storage" - so the USA one must be 4GB also.

Also claimed: 20% faster processor - must also be an i.MX6 machine (like the PW2).

I can see they are building on a newer kernel (3.0.35 - released 17-Jun-2012).

Could you do a capture of the output of:
cat /proc/cpuinfo
for us?

Thanks for the USA link -
It is also showing me a "Kindle Voyage" link (new, top of line).

Any USA dweller out there with more money than common sense want to throw $300 towards Amazon, buy a Kindle Voyage (3G+WiFi, no S/O) and tear it apart for us?
(Don't forget the not-included charger.)
