• Register knocks Kindle for lack of ePub, watered-down U.K. model

  
  TeleRead: Bring the E-Books Home — Authority: 650

  Amazon will almost surely keep using E Ink in Kindles in the near future. But mightn’t Amazon also flirt with rival display technology—perhaps Pixel Qi , perhaps Qualcomm’s mirasol tech —in the coming year or so? No inside information here. It just makes sense.
