Amazon Acquires Liquavista Color e-Paper

I don’t know about you but I have been waiting for Amazon to release a color e-paper device. Considering that Amazon has confirmed it has acquired Liquavista and its Color e-Paper technology, we might see Kindles with more flexible and color displays in the near future.

We are always looking for new technologies we may be able to incorporate into our products over the long term. The Liquavista team shares our passion for invention and is creating exciting new technologies with a lot of potential. It’s still early days, but we’re excited about the possibilities and we look forward to working with Liquavista to develop these displays.

explained Amazon in an e-mail. We will see this flexible solution used to make future Kindles? That is not clear at this point. It won’t happen overnight anyway.
