Amazon to launch colour E Ink touchscreen Kindle?

PanARMENIAN.Net - A colour Kindle may be on the cards in 2012, as according to a report from DigiTimes, Amazon are preparing to launch a new bright touchscreen device.

Unlike Amazon's current Kindle Fire tablet, which runs Android OS under a glass touchscreen, the colour Kindle would use a similar technology to that already present in the regular Kindle devices, making it far more readable in direct sunlight and much more like a classic book.

According to the Chinese newspaper Economic Daily News, E Ink will be looking to ship three million colour displays a month once production begins.

Amazon has been rumoured to launch a colour Kindle for quite some time and at one point it appeared that Qualcomm's Mirasol colour screen technology would take the contract, but it now seems as though Amazon is firmly sticking with E Ink's efforts instead, Tech Digest reported.
