Home / News / Amazon Kindle colour tablet rumours emerge

Amazon Kindle has been the highest selling product on the site for years. We can only imagine how ridiculously popular the Amazon Tablet with colour LCD will be.

After Apple patented a hybrid E Ink-LCD display recently, the race for screen supremacy is on. Rumour has it that the components for the Amazon media device will be coming from E Ink Holdings and could mean a Fringe Field Switching LCD display – giving low power coloured viewing that will set a new precedent for all tablets. According to component manufacturer rumours we can expect this game changer as soon as late 2011.
