Many people who have never adopted e-books often mention the difference in the experience. Clicking on buttons or a screen is very different from flipping through pages. But perhaps a new development could change these people’s minds: a foldable Kindle, precisely to emulate the way of “controlling” a book.

In your last newsletter, Mark Gurman (Bloomberg reporter) revealed that there are rumors about Amazon's future plans for its tablet and e-reader. With the popularization of foldable devices, in part due to new products from Samsung, the company may be working on a foldable version of the Kindle. And what does this have to do with the physical book experience?

Precisely because it is a foldable Kindle (still without a name), it is speculated that one of the functions applied to the folding feature is linked to the experience of opening and closing (or turning a page) of a physical product, in addition to other possibilities.

And Amazon doesn't just have plans for new Echo Dots and a new foldable e-reader, at least that's what Gurman's newsletter reports. The journalist also pointed out that the company may be planning to enter the Augmented Reality market with smart glasses, a market that is also being disputed by Apple which has already closed partnership with TSMC to produce your product.

Like Apple, which plans to integrate the use of its AR glasses with other products, including being able to replace the screen of future iMacs, Amazon could also make its glasses another object that will complement its smart home set. Thus, it is possible that Amazon's AR glasses could offer an experience allied to Alexa, Echo Dot and the company's other smart products.
