So if there’s a new Kindle about to come out, why is Amazon promoting the old one?

I was just on Amazon.com’s page, excited about the new Kindles supposedly about to be announced and they’re still highlighting the ones that I suspect are about to become obsolete.

The new one coming out is a Kindle Fire (tablet), the one they're advertising (for me at least) is the standard Kindle, the e-paper version.

You realize Amazon makes their money from sales on the service, right?

The tablets are just portals to enable more sales.
