Amazon to Pick Up the eDGe Torch? - Page 2

It's possible, but I'd be surprised if they did. A dual screen model like that seems kind of out there for Amazon's first Android device. It'd be interesting though.

If it is to have a true e-ink screen then it has to have two screens. E-ink is a reflective screen and LCD is a transmissive screen. Also to the best of my knowledge colour e-ink isn't good enough at the moment to replace an LCD screen.

While the Pixel QI screen is reasonable an e-ink screen it is not.
