Hold On Apple, Amazon Brings Kindle Flood

Apple kindled the eReader war with the announcement of the iPad launch. Rupert Murdock is also considering putting some chains around Amazon, after Google, by criticizing the ebook pricing; and a reported deal with Apple.
 
Most blogs and reports are putting the iPad in direct competition with Amazon's Kindle. Some even say that the iPad will kill Kindle; it seems Muktware* (Gnu-Linux) powered Kindle is hard to kill. 
 
Amazon is all set to cause a flood in the eBook segment. They are going to do what Nokia has been trying to do with the iPhone for 'ages' now. Amazon is planning to outdo the iPad.
 
Kindle may soon have flexible screen. You may twist it, bend it and still read it. What about the iPad -- no need to mention, Apple is a non-flexible company. Same approach goes in Jobs' product. Like master, like product: the iPad is not flexible, you try to bend its screen -- get ready with $400 (or what ever model you have) to get a new one.
 
The root of this Kindle flexibility lies in the reports that Amazon has acquired a New York-based start-up, Touchco which specializes in touch-screen technology, reports NY Times.
 
The newspaper further reports, "Amazon will merge Touchco’s technology and staff members into its Kindle hardware division, Lab126, which is based in Cupertino, Calif., this person said."
 
All we can say is, when it comes to eReaders, "You ain't read nothing yet!"
