Amazon is going to host a special press event this Wednesday. If you’re interested in their Kindle then you should definitely find some time to at least virtually attend. Scheduled for May 6 at 10:30AM ET the whole event should be Kindle-related. The press conference will be held at Pace University which is the historical location of the New York Times. Are we going to see a bigger Kindle made especially for magazine’s and newspapers? We’ll find out more in less than two days!

If you purchased a Kindle 2 recently, watch out what you’re doing with it. It’s being reported that Amazon threatened a site that offered instructions on how to trick the Kindle ino reading other types of files.

A Russian hacker found a way to view non-proprietary files on the Kindle and that’s why Amazon came in strong, talking DMCA at the wrongdoers. The software wasn’t even hosted on the site in question. Who will Amazon go after next? Will the company sue everyone taking advantage of the Kindles in a way they shouldn’t?

How would you like to browse the internet on your Kindle 2 through a USB network? Well it seems there’s a way of doing that. Simply use some of the debugging commands available and follow the link below for a complete unofficial tutorial. Remember that it’s not an official tutorial and you will be doing all the modifications on your own risk. Those faint of hear should not try this at home. Especially since Amazon might not like all this playing around with its hardware and firmware.

As we said before, Amazon’s new Kindle 2 is already available for sale but what about a Kindle 3? We have been picking up Kindle 3 rumors sooner than we expected. The new e-reader should be bigger in size and similar to an 8.5 x 11-inch sheet of paper. Similar to the Hearst concept we’ve just shown you right?

According to sources from Prime View International, the guys that make the electrophoretic display for the Kindle, the next Kindle will be launched by the end of the year and it will also feature a touch-friendly display. Would you dump your Kindle 2 in favor of the next version if this rumor turns out to be true?
