I’m in Santa Monica, California for Amazon.com’s press event, which kicks off at 1:30pm ET on Thursday. The company has officially said that–well, actually it hasn’t said anything at all about the shindig. Even what the general topic is.

But if we assume that the subject is Kindle devices — as everyone is sensibly doing — the main questions are what sort of Kindle devices, and how many of them there will be.

The rumors, speculation and possible hints have reached an intensity which I can’t remember seeing in the lead-up to a non-Apple event.
