Could Amazon’s next Kindle device be called the Kindle Scribe?

Or is Amazon going to release a powerful note-taking feature with the Kindle e-book reader?

Now, we have another name to add to the rumor mill called the “Kindle Scribe”, after Amazon’s Legal Department registered the domain names KindleScribe.com and KindleScribes.com on August 20, 2011.
