Will Amazon Ever Release a Kindle with a Color E Ink Screen?
Last year after reviewing the first generation of E Ink’s new Kaleido color screens, I posted about how I didn’t expect Amazon to release a color Kindle anytime soon—at the time I just felt that E Ink’s color technology wasn’t quite good enough for the big stage.
