The purported press image matches previous leaks in bezel size and design, but lacks the front-facing camera Amazon introduced with the Kindle Fire HD (http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/11/amazon-kindle-fire-hd-review-7-inch/). This leads us to suspect that the render is of a non-HD model (http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/14/amazon-kindle-fire-review/) of Bezos' latest tablet. The flagship model is rumored to have a 2,560 x 1,600 resolution, the aforementioned camera upfront and an OS based on Android 4.2.2. We're still waiting for Amazon to give the official word of course, but for Kindle (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Kindle/) users waiting for an upgrade, it's something to salivate over.
