Confirmed: Amazon Bought Liquavista - Color Kindle to Follow? - The Digital Reader

Amazon vertically integrates for next-gen/color Kindle devices?

"Liquavista got its start way back when battery life was still a serious issue for mobile devices.  This was one of a number of screen technologies that traded screen quality for battery life, but now that battery life is not such a serious problem for most devices there isn’t really much of a market for Liquavista’s screens.
The only market left for Liquavista screens is the ereader market, and I’m pretty sure that is why Amazon bought Liquavista."
