    Prime View International, maker of electrophoretic displays AKA epaper makes the screens for Amazon’s Kindle 2. That much we know. However, rumors that they are working on a larger-sized touchscreen makes us think they are now ramping up production of the “student’s Kindle” we talked about last year. This Kindle will have a larger screen and more research-oriented features – Wi-Fi, anyone?

    While one line in a boring DigiTimes story does not a confirmation make, it’s a compelling enough reason to run around naked for the rest of the day yelling “The Kindle 3 is coming.” Go ahead. We’ll wait.
