Amazon is like Sony. They both tried something that didn;t work and have given up on it. Sony tried front lighting with the PRS-700 and it was a failure. So no more front light. Amazon tried a larger screen Kindle wit the Kindle DX and that failed so no more larger than 6" screen Kindles.

It seems only one failure is enough to stop trying new things.
