Future Kindle Paperwhite?
I'm looking to get a new e-reader with backlighting. I did buy a Kobo Aura HD and was blown away by the screen quality. Unfortunately it locked up and would not reboot and I returned it. I was very unimpressed with Kobo customer support and felt that the build quality was lacking on the Aura HD. Kindle Paperwhite is another option. I got a bit spoiled by the Aura HD screen and would love it if there was a Kindle that used the same screen. Has anyone heard any rumors of what Amazon is working on? I wouldn't mind waiting a couple of months if I could get an Amazon product with a similar screen.

Perhaps read the following threads:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=215627 https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=215678 The "tl;dr" version is that nobody knows. Also, apparently they are front lit (not back lit). |
