13 inch Amazon Kindle XL
Anybody else was waiting for a new Kindle DX or perhaps Kindle XL?
I am dying to buy eReader with 13 inch display. |

I wouldn't hold my breath. The DX didn't sell very well. Why would they make an even bigger Kindle?

I'm afraid you'll have to go ahead and die. It's not going to happen.

I highly recommend Mobile Read Eternal Rest for your funeral. We throw a real whiz bang of a service here. It's very dignified. You get your choice of pall bearers; either dancing monkeys (my recommendation) or sad pandas if you prefer things a bit more somber. Just let us know.

Maybe there'll be Pocketbook's 13" e-ink finally available next spring for a half the price of DPT-S1 but I wouldn't bet on it. I hope to see some good 8" e-ink with light and pen or at least good pdf annotation capabilities next year and Plastic Logic's big e-ink screens at affordable prices winter 2016 or finally some 10-12" reflective color LCD summer 2016 .

They will release it the moment some other company release it in quantities considerable enough and price low enough to really change something in textbook/pdf devices market, no matter e-ink or reflective color lcd, regrettably that probably means no earlier than summer 2016.

If not as CEO's right hand, then they should at least employ you as spokeswoman.

13,3", color reflective display (Liquavista?)... like Sony DPT-S1 but with color.
The notebook/textbook of the future... Perhaps 2025 I'm afraid |

Liquavista is not ready for prime time, or Amazon would have already done it.

Generally the most paper waste is being generated in the offices. Thousands of reams and tons of ink right now. Bookshops are closing down, people read less. Perhaps change your signature: "Save a Tree Buy an Digital Paper! But I would address this somewhere else not here - to governments, businesses, law firms, medical institutions, musicians etc. |
