We heard this rumor prior to the release of the PW2 and some were saying they thought it applied to the then unreleased PW2. It didn't. Companies often build several prototypes each year and many of those never materialize into an actual released product. The description sounds more like a Fire tablet than an eInk, and the photos look more like a Fire, but really there is very little info in the description. I guarantee though that if they switch to a highly reflective glass screen like most tablets have, there will be a huge outcry from diehard eInk reader fans. It wouldn't bother me, but I think it would bother the diehards.
