Amazon to Release Its Tablet Based on Android in October

Don't suppose it'll be a tablet that'll let me read books without eye strain will it?

I really need a mixture of colour Kindle and tablet...

Why? I can see the reason for the Kindle, but a tablet will mean that it will have to compete with the iPad and will lose. The Kindle is still best in its class. With colour it will appeal to me. Though I suspect that it might be a few years before that happens.

Have you noticed the KIndle adverts don’t show the pages turning? A tablet will use a proper LCD display, so no “we’ve got it slightly wrong” flicker as the screen changes.

Don’t get me wrong - I like the ePaper displays - easy to look at. It’s the flickering I hate.
