Extras such as on-screen keyboard for the Kindle is for totally alien - all text must be entered by pressing the small screen. However, as newspaper reports, "The New York Times (NYT) Amazon is already working on next generation of readers, which - perhaps - will be equipped with color touch-screen operated.
Assumptions are based on the NYT from people associated with the company for information made by Amazon's just the acquisition. Company bought a small New York firm Touchco, which specializes in technology for the multitouch screen resistance. Toucho, derived from the project run by the Media Reseach Lab at New York University, to be included in a structure belonging to the Amazon's business Lab126 - and it deals with improving the reader Kindle. For the moment there is no official confirmation of the news of the takeover, but the Touchco can read that in January 2010 the company ceased operations.

The resistance touch screens responsive to pressure (and used primarily in PDAs) that can take place both with your finger and stylus. In the case of technology developed by Touchco (Interpolating Resistance Force-Sensitive, IFSRA) can be simultaneously recorded multiple points of pressure (Multitouch). Application of this technique for color screens is possible, and the price according to information provided by the larger production batches to be as low as $ 10 per square foot (about 30.5 x30, 5 inch, or slightly more than 0.09 square meter).
