It would appear that this next-gen Kindle will have a backlight option, much like the Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight. Regular readers of this blog know I’m lukewarm on tablets myself (though warming to the idea of buying one myself, if only to shed my iPhone addiction); I’m a big fan of my Kindle, though, which is a constant traveling companion. I’ve been less excited by the Fire, because I’m one of these people who is actually paralyzed by choice. To have multiple books on one device is distracting enough, without the lure of Mad Men episodes to further distract me.
E Ink displays still have the best screens for reading, in my view, and the ability to read them outside is a major bonus. Since I recently moved to a new apartment with an outlet outside, in fact, I’ve occasionally attempted to write on my laptop in my backyard. It’s very difficult to do, and I’m not the first, evidently, to have longed for a laptop with an E Ink screen. If any company’s coming close to producing something like this, it would appear to be Pixel Qi.
Would you ever buy an E Ink laptop?
