Full FeedRumor: Amazon to create a Kindle 3 later this year?
Since the Kindle 2 has already started shipping, it’s never to early to start looking at some rumors for a possible revamped Kindle. Our rumor today comes from Digitimes, who wrote an article about the popularity of electrophoretic displays (EPDs) because of the Kindle. In the last part of the article, they mentioned that Amazon is planning to launch a new Kindle later this year.
TFT/LCD displays are slightly losing their popularity as touch screens are becoming more prevalent. However, Prime View International expects this display, among EPDs, to do well in the coming months due to the launch of the Kindle 2. In fact, Amazon is their largest client, so I’m sure PVI hopes that the Kindle 2 is met with success. According to some sources within PVI, Amazon is planning to release a new Kindle by the end of the year, which would come with a larger screen that is touch capable.
It will be interesting to see how this rumor plays out, whether Amazon has any comment on this matter or if other rumors surface.
