Amazon. I know you guys are working on tablets or something but you should think about stealing this Kobo eReader Touch and using it as your next Kindle. Dude, it’s a touchscreen e-ink display. We’ve been wanting that forever ago.

But alas, it’s not going to be the next Amazon Kindle. It’s a Kobo. To be fair, this Kobo eReader Touch does have the look of a winner: there’s a 6-inch Pearl E-Ink screen that uses Neonode’s zForce infrared touch technology to let you navigate it as a touchscreen. I’m looking at the silly buttons on my Kindle in shame (while crossing my fingers and hoping the Kobo isn’t terribly unresponsive or laggy). It’ll only run you $130 when it releases in early June.
