Report: New Amazon Kindle Includes Rechargeable Case

We already know a new Kindle is on the way next week, and now we may have some of the first details about it.

According to The Wall Street Journal, which cites an unnamed person familiar with the matter, the new high-end Amazon ereader will come with a "rechargeable protective case for extended battery life." The battery case will be removable, allowing the Kindle to "be thinner than earlier devices," the report notes.
