While mulling over the just unveiled Kindle DX, we at New Line Press are not sure whether to be delighted or annoyed. Technology for e-readers changes in what seems by the time you receive one electronic reading device it soon becomes extinct while newer versions hold more books, has longer battery life, larger reading area, the list goes on and on.
The one thing we have been waiting but have not seen yet is a color screen. We half expect Apple, Plastic Logic, or Sony to be releasing a color screen soon. Some people remark that when reading a book, the pages are not in color anyway however, taking that into consideration, we venture to say color screens will soon be forthcoming. Probably right after we have purchased the latest e-reader!
