Jeff Bezos on the future of Amazon and the Kindle
Here, I’m on the way to a breakfast meeting, so I’ll just provide a quick link. On possible new features:
Color or animation isn’t likely. E Ink [the type of technology Kindle employs] display doesn’t support color in a commercial way. Plus, the rapid screen updates required for animation create eyestrain. The Kindle is more like a printed page — easier on your eyes. We will do on-air updates. Perhaps we’ll create better user interface to improve what you’re talking about for a newspaper.

Frankly, Amazon’s support for the Kindle after they released it has been atrocious. I almost never use mine anymore. Can’t believe its a year old and there’s still no way to make folders/etc to actually *organize* e-books.
