I wonder how it will go in terms of battery life though, we would have to assume color tech takes more power? I am suprised Amazon hasn't made any announcements yet about the direction of the new kindles. If they don't announce anything before the release of the iPad I will be shocked. The iPad will eat their Kindle DX sales up I think.
It's not e-ink (that's a brand), and color doesn't take any more power because it is not using filters to produce different colors, it's simply altering the wavelength of reflected light. It's really quite brilliant in it's simplicity.
