There’s a Kindle Touch for that. You can even get the Kindle DX if you want a large 9.7 inch display and have enough money burning a whole in your pocket.

Devin Coldewey says he saw an early prototype, and while he wasn’t able to get a sense of the size or shape, he says it has a blueish white glow and text appeared to be a little easier to make out than on a normal E Ink screen. There was also an adjustable brightness control.
