Amazon has tried without much success to conceal a “small” transaction with Samsung . The two technology giants have “passed” Liquavista , a company and a cutting edge technology useless for the Koreans but definitely perfect for the super store online.

Liquavista, color e-reader in the near future

Into The success of Samsung is based on the beautiful display of its technological masterpieces, whether it be that of the smartphone tablet. The technology of Liquavista, purchased years ago when batteries were much less powerful, is not able to be compared even remotely to an AMOLED.

Into Liquavista makes LCD color screens, but they are much more similar to ‘e-ink that the full HD beasts that we see on the top of the range Android. In return they are much cheaper to build and consume much less battery. Samsung was not taking advantage of them, however Amazon can leave behind while beautiful and useful Kindle Paperwhite and start thinking about an e-reader with a color screen much more responsive and powerful, capable of displaying different media without shutting down after a few hours of ‘use.

Into For the moment there is not even a prototype and I can deduce that Amazon itself does not know exactly when it will be able to change the cards on the table. The corporation tried to buy Liquavista without noise, using bogus companies nominee – The plan was not successful and was caught almost immediately, mind you, but all this shows a certain insecurity by Amazon. We’ll have to be patient.
