Kindle readers to stay colorless

I just read that the CEO of Amazon said that there is the possibility of a color Kindle, but that it was still a long way off. I guess the challenges of adding color add some deficiencies as well, such as shorter battery life and increased glare in sunlight. This kinda bums me out a little since I was really looking forward to getting one of these for my own personal reading collection. One of my favorite things to do with a book is highlight passages that speak to me personally. Of all the highlight colors available, I still prefer the traditional yellow highlight. But if Kindle can’t handle the highlighting function, I may be looking elsewhere for my e-reader.

Kindle’s new software

In an apparent effort to compensate for the competition from Apple’s iPad, Amazon released a software update that allows it e-reader to access Facebook and Twitter. So, if you have a book you’re reading and want to share a passage on Twitter or Facebook, you can now do that. I still want to make sure I can highlight certain passages for later reading.

Oprah recently plugged the Kindle and you know how she can really get a product going… luckily for us geeks who already knew about the Kindle for quite some time along with knowing of its exhorbenent price tag, can now get a cool $50 off by entering OPRAHWINFREY during the checkout process at Amazon.com. Thanks O!
