There’s a rumor that Amazon is getting ready to release a large format Kindle (roughly letter-sized), maybe this week, designed to handle newspaper and magazine-sized displays. Read the full story here at the New York Times. Kindle 2 already offers some specially formatted news feeds, but lacks the display ad capability that is integral to the beleagured newspaper publishing industry.
So is Amazon finally getting competitive in this game, or is this a gut reaction to the rumors of an approaching Apple Media Tablet and a marketplace rapidly filling with competitors–some already tricked out for full color magazine and newspaper display? See Plastic Logic’s here.  See Bridgestone’s here. We’ll see, yah?
