Amazon will launch an eReader with a color screen this year

Kindle Paperwhite

In recent months, Amazon has renewed its range of eReaders, a range that had been a bit forgotten after its $ 50 tablet, but it seems that it will not die or that is what Amazon wants. After the last two eReaders you have submitted, Amazon could be working on its first eReader with a color screen, a device that would have the good of the eReader and the tablet in a single device.

Years ago Amazon bought the Liquavista company, a company that had developed cheap color e-ink display technology. This technology could have materialized in an eReader, being the first eReader with a color screen that is within reach of many pockets. Currently There are several models of devices with a color electronic ink screen, so the Amazon device would not be the first, but it is true that their prices are very high, so high that they exceed the price of the iPad or iPhone offering much less advantages or functions.

Amazon's new color eReader could be the cheapest of the color eReaders

As we have learned, the eReader with a color screen would be being manufactured in China, in an Amazon factory, but the project management will be in the Netherlands, where Amazon has a delegation that is in charge of the creation and production of this eReader . Manufacturing would already be started and the device is expected to be on the market by the end of this year. And since it is made in the EU, the device will not be leaked by the FCC, so until A few days before the launch we will not know anything about this eReader that will revolutionize the market for eReaders and ebooks. For many years, the color display has been an unsatisfied request from users. A request that forced many users to use the tablet as an eReader, something that could have its days numbered.

Although this device will be significant for anyone who reads e-books, the truth is that books still have a long life and may eReader lovers don't change their monochrome eReader for this model What do you think?
