I strongly hope they consider installing e-ink screen on the back like Yotaphone. Quite a few reviewers lamented when they saw Yotaphone that it was a missed opportunity for Amazon. It's not hard to imagine why. First, Amazon is known for its e-book store. Sell the device, bundle a subscription to Amazon Prime, and people will soon get entangled to their ecosystem, not to mention those already knees deep in it. Second, they have been manufacturing e-ink devices. It means they will have fewer technical issues integrating the screen, and are in a position to negotiate cheaper prices from the screen vendors. One might worry about overshadowing existing Kindle devices, but why not try first then worry later when/if the phone becomes a hit?
