A color Kindle is years away, buyers remorse here to stay

Hey, Kindle 2 owners, remember when Amazon made the device official and you thought: “Well, it took them a year and a half to replace the old one, so I can buy this one without fears of immediate obsolescence.” And then remember how three months later they announced the Kindle DX and you thought: “Oh.” Well, if you’re now fearing a color Kindle will come sauntering along in a few months to make everyone jealous, fear not, as Jeff Bezos is saying the tech is still “multiple years” away, adding “I’ve seen the color displays in the laboratory and I can assure you they’re not ready for prime time.” From the few prototypes we’ve seen we’d tend to agree. So, anyone still on the fence about a Kindle, go ahead and buy now with confidence, as your devices won’t be made to look quaint any time soon — at least until that pizza box-sized reader Amazon’s been working on in secret is announced in July. Did we mention it actually cooks pizza?
