It seems unlikely that at some point the Kindle will offer a color screen to keep up with the myriad of color screens featured on stealthy competitors like iPad, JooJoo, Slate and others. When Amazon decides to pull the trigger, they’ll likely go with one of the new screens shown here. These screens were shown by Kindle’s current screen maker, Prime View Intl. at a trade show in China.

These new screens offer color but not real video. The refresh on these screens is short of real videos 30fps, but slower animations are possible. These screens look to be an evolutionary step bringing easy reading e-ink to new places. The screens will go into mass production in Q4 of this year.

It was confirmed that Amazon and the Barnes and Noble have seen the new screen but no comments on adoption.

Touch screen e-ink screens were also shown off that could find a welcome home on the Kindle. Simple hand-written note taking was shown in a demo and brings to mind the issues educational institutions ultimately had issues with the Kindle in testing. Perhaps touch is on the Kindles roadmap as well.
