Over at the theiphoneblog.com<\/a> you can hear rumbling that is being felt deep inside the Amazon, and might be the reason the tribe there is getting ready to launch a new touch-screen Kindle 3<\/strong> in the fall.<\/p>\n

The growing phenomena of iPhone & iTouch eBook reading has the people at Apple watching <\/em>with great interest, but what are they doing<\/em>? There’s a rumor in the pipe (read it here<\/a>) that they’re going to be bringing out a bigger version of the iPhone or iTouch architecture, a tablet, for reading and display. It makes perfect sense and might be just what the languishing large format, newspaper and comic book publishing industries need.<\/p>\n

There is also a rumor that they’ve been secretly converting truckloads of books into text for the possible launch of an Apple eBook store.<\/p>\n

I’d say I’ll be watching with bated breath, but that always sounds like I had tuna for lunch. Yah?<\/em><\/p>\n

We’ll find out more March 25th<\/a> when Apple has scheduled a BIG announcement.<\/p>\n
