Rumor has it that (and from sites like TechCrunch) that Amazon is hard at work on the Kindle with some form lighting. Yes, you heard it right, a Kindle reader with an illuminated screen.
This news is backed up by the fact that Amazon recently purchased Oy Modilis, a Finnish firm with patents relating to lighting technology.
There are even people who claim to have seen the new technology in development. They point towards a tapping screen mechanism that when dragged can evenly light up the screen. The illumination is said to be soft, blue and easy on the eyes.
Expect this one to hit the shelves late this year.
