Samsung e6 e-reader an advance over kindle?
To prevent carpal tunnel and other repetitive stress injuries, the samsung e6 may provide the necessary tablet/stylus technology to avoid pressing on the forward/backward tabs on Kindle which, at least for me, began to excerbate my medial nerve injury that had been giving me no trouble for 18 months. Do not risk getting this disorder. It is terrible. I had a four-hour micro neurosurgery to correct it. I contacted Amazon about this what I perceive to be a design flaw; have not gotten an answer. Other touch sensitive e-readers are reahing the market. The e-6 is scheduled for retail sales this month 3/10.
Additionally, Kindle may be aware of its flaw, as this report suggests:
Right before Apple brought its iPad to the surface, Amazon announced that it would be offering apps on the Kindle, a move that was obviously meant to position it head to head against the iPad. Of course, Amazon’s device lacks pretty much everything that the iPad offers– outside of e-reading capabilities.
According to a New York Times article, Amazon is preparing to upgrade the Kindle to better position it against the iPad. The retail and e-reading giant reportedly purchased Touchco, a NY start-up that specializes in touchscreen technology. Amazon will roll its new company into its Kindle hardware division.

Touchco’s touchscreen technology is significantly less expensive than that used in other devices, including the iPad; is transparent; can work with full color LCDs and can recognize an unlimited number of simultaneous touch points.
The NY Times got the information from a “person briefed on the deal” and Amazon has not confirmed or denied it. Assuming its true, the market could welcome a touch-based Kindle somewhere down the line.
