The buyer is unconfirmed, but looks likely to be Amazon is now confirmed as the buyer. Could this mean that a Liquavista Kindle will appear sometime in the next year?

I'm really looking forward to seeing a production Liquavista display, and I'm hoping it won't be the disappointment that Mirasol turned out to be.

There's 4GB of on-board storage (with a microSD slot to increase that) and WiFi, which Sony plans to use for sharing notes with those who didn't make it to class on time. With WiFi off, the rechargeable battery inside is expected to last for three weeks of solid learning. These specs are for the prototype, of course, so after the late-2013 field trials at three Japanese universities. ---End Quote--- Knowing Sony, I am sure it would cost a leg to buy if it ever comes out.
