Bezos: Color version of Kindle is "multiple years" away

The story, by Physorg.com is here.  The statement was made at Amazon's annual shareholders meeting in Seattle.

In the meantime, Plastic Logic is demo'g its business model due out in 2010 and a flexible display version. Here's a video of the demo by Plastic Logic's CEO Richard Archuletta.  Here's another video demo at D7.

Engadget's Joshua Topolsky reports some "lust" for this large grayscale reader:

"... but we noted a fairly slow screen refresh (way slower than the Kindle), which is kind of a downer -- along with that fairly distant 2010 launch date..."

  Also, though it will have WiFi and built-in 3G data capability, a report May 10 on, in part, a talk by Plastic Logic's Sarah Geata, reminded us that Plastic Logic doesn't plan to have email or a web browser on this. Below are ways to Share this post if you'd like others to see it.
