I'm sure there are but would there be enough for Amazon to reach their sales target? Cost-benefit and ROI is really Amazon's primary consideration here. No doubt it will be profitable but will it be as profitable as Amazon's other ventures? |
I think there might be a market in the kindle line up for a 6" device that has buttons on each side, and a clearer glass screen. The shape would make a difference for those who don't like the wedge shape of the Oasis. Many miss the Voyage and are looking for those features again. They haven't found it in the paperwhite yet.
