What Amazon could do in 2020/2021: - larger screen: I would love this, but I don't think it seems likely.
- plastic body: this would be great
- USB-C: this will probably be implemented, but who cares? - some have concerns about the quality of cables; however, this is not a very interesting topic.
Do you think there will be a new flagship e-reader in 2020/2021? What features do you think it will have; which would you like? |
While you may think the quality of USB-C cables is an interesting topic, it's one that can be very serious. How would you like to plug a Kindle with USB-C into your computer and have the computer and/or the Kindle short circuit or catch fire due to a faulty USB-C cable?
As for a new Kindle, a PW with an 8" screen might be a good idea. It would get rid of the cold body and the buttons.
