\"\"One of the major points the iPad, nook, and other e-book readers have on the Kindle is their touchability. Sure, you don’t need <\/em>it to read books, but it’s nice if you like interacting with things. Well, Amazon seems to have figured this out, and has purchased a touchscreen company called Touchco (Touchco, really?) that owns a nice, transparent, resistive touchscreen tech that could easily be implemented into a Kindle — even a color one.<\/p>\n

The technical details<\/a> aren’t really that interesting — I mean, it’s pretty much just a touchscreen. But it’s a little troubling that Amazon is just buying them up now<\/em>. Even if Amazon were to release a new device today, they’d still be behind the times. Let’s hope they get a move on.<\/p>\n
