At most, these companies are to blame for rumors in that they insist on hiding behind cloaks of secrecy, driving columnists and fans NUTSO and 'making' them speculate. Certainly it would be against Amazon's own interests to be priming reporters with 'Kindle 2.0 clues' if they want to go on selling Kindle 1's. -- that is, unless the Kindle 2.0 rumors were correct, and production difficulties have pushed it back, forcing company folks to rush out now with denials, in order to save some Kindle 1.0 sales for the holiday season. I have some doubts on this, but the entire history of eInk has been plagued with delays upon delays. So what you're saying might be true. Anyway it will be interesting to see if Kindle2 does come out this year -- that would make me disbelieve everything Amazon says about everything without independent confirmation!
