Where to next for the Kindle?
Are we going to see any updated hardware this year do you think?
What features or improvements would it take for you to upgrade to a new model?

With so many rumours around regarding the Kindle Fire and even perhaps a Kindle Phone, were does that leave the original and best Kindle device - the e-ink Kindle. Are we going to see any updated hardware this year do you think? What features or improvements would it take for you to upgrade to a new model? Barnacle Boy!

RE: Where to next for the Kindle?Although for me the web browser is a secondary bonus and I hardly ever use it, I think an improved browser would be a bonus. When I was in France, trying to hook up to good old MacDonald's free wireless - managed to do it fine on the phone - but the kindle would just not do it. I think it is because in order to use the free Wifi you have to go to a web browser and register, and it was just too much for poor little kindle to understand |

RE: Where to next for the Kindle?I've read about HD e-ink but don't really see the point, better contrast with a whiter screen should be as good as it needs to get. Then again, I'm not one of those who wants to be able to browse the web on an e-reader, if I wanted something to do a lot of different things, I'd buy a tablet! Having a flexible screen would be a big advance, e-readers seem far too fragile right now. I'm not fussed about lighting, but can see the attraction of front-lit readers. That apart, anything else is just software related, progress bar with chapter markings, better library management, nothing major. |

RE: Where to next for the Kindle?My eye sight isn't great and I'm not good with white backgrounds, so perhaps an adjustable one would be nice. |
