A second image, which it was asked not to publish, apparently shows a more streamlined user interface with less “chrome.”

The leak comes on the same day that Amazon announced that the Kindle Fire, Amazon’s best-selling product since it launched, is now sold out. Amazon added that in the nine months it was available, the Kindle Fire managed to grab 22% of the U.S. tablet sales.
