Amazon Has Sights Set on Double-Sided Tablet Device

Amazon has received a patent on a two-sided tablet joining e-ink and LCD display on opposite sides. Each side of the tablet would have touch sensitivity and front and rear facing cameras to determine screen identification. The device could be used with both screens in unison to make it easier to view certain aspects of a single item, such as web page.

The patent approval comes just days before the company is planning a press event in Los Angeles on Sept. 6, where the company is likely gearing up to launch its next-generation Kindle e-reader and Kindle Fire tablet devices.
