When do you think Amazon will come out with a touchscreen Kindle?

I’m leaning towards the Kindle over the Sony Reader but I really like the touch screen feature. Since Amazon just came out with the DX I think it will be awhile but I don’t know how long it’s been since the first Kindle or Kindle 2.

Kindle 1 is out by the end of 2007, while Kindle 2 is released in Feb this year. Yes, it is surprising fast for Kindle DX which will come out this summer, guess Amazon want to fill the problem of complex PDF handling, which is the only advantage of Sony Reader over Kindle right now in my opinion.
I don’t prefer touch screen for ebook readers, because very likely it will make the screen glare and not suitable for long hours of reading. You can read the critical reviews of Sony PRS-700BC below, there are many complaint about the touch screen making it not comfortable for reading.

The Kindle DX is out, but the Kindle 2 is still my choice. Kindle DX has larger screen but it also makes the device more bulky and not as convenient to bring everywhere. Personally, I don’t have complicated PDF to handle so the PDF conversion in Kindle 2 is fine for me already.
You can read the Kindle DX page and there is a very good and clear comparison of it with the Kindle 2.

Hope it helps your decision.
Kindle 2 came out earlier this year, the DX came out pretty fast after that I think. If they are planning a touch screen I think they will probably wait a bit and see what sales are like for the ones they already have. I’m thinking if they are planning one, they will announce it in the fall, a lot of companies like to wait until the holiday season to get you excited about new stuff.

One of the advantages of the Kindle over other ebook readers is that it used the e-ink technology and boost the comfort on reading.
The Kindle Reader is an Amazon Online Reader where one can download ebook to there Kindle Reader. Amazon CEO Mr. Jeff Bezos designed this unit in 2003 & released the first generation kindle in 2007.
Mr. Jeff Bezos left room for improvement for the coming of the new education higher reform devices such as the Kindle 2 and the Kindle DX, it fits right in with the 2009 stimulus package.
Education, Employment, Economy, Housing. Believe it or not, The Amazon Online Reader provides the advancement of all above said. Did I mention the Kindle Reader is environmental and easy on the eyes.
As an Amazon Affiliate, I am provided with a feed of knowledge from the foundation it self. Reading is "Still" Fundamental!
A company called Plastic Logic has announced a touchscreen ebook reader to be released early next year. They already have partnerships with Barns and Noble’s ebook store and Zinio (the largest source of digital magazine subscriptions) as well as several self publishing sites. The reader will also include free 3G just like the kindle and will use a new e-ink technology that will allow it to be significantly thinner and more durable than the kindle 2. In all probability it will also be slightly cheaper.
If Amazon wants to compete they will have to release a similar device by next year.
I’m waiting for Kindle DX it’s will available soon http://kindle-dx.tk
Yes, it will be a while for Amazon to release a new Kindle again. The Kindle DX is surprisingly fast already… The future version will be at least next year, when some new competitors come out.
I think they will come out with one before Christmas. They have to keep up with their competitors – so they will certainly be working on it.
This is the latest model – no touch screen feature yet.
