Amazon rumoured to be developing Kindle with rechargeable cases

Upcoming Amazon Kindles are rumoured to be coming with even better battery life courtesy of rechargeable protective casing. According to The Wall Street Journal, these cases will help slim down the e-reader. But this could also mean battery life of the device alone won’t be better than before or at least still be similar to older models. There also is supposedly a solar-powered casing in the works that won’t be available for the launch of rumoured device next week.

These new cases and the new Kindles are supposedly Amazon’s attempt to push new Kindle devices as they’re apparently having a harder time selling newer Kindles because people are still perfectly happy with their current e-readers. It would need a new feature, like a rechargeable case, to help compel buyers to consider getting a new Kindle.
