Industry sources revealed to DigiTimes that Amazon is likely to ship a color eBook reaer in the second half of 2012:

Amazon's new color e-book readers will be built with multi-touch capacitive touch panels instead of infrared touch panels used in the previous mono-color e-book readers, the sources noted.

E Ink Holdings also plans to unveil color EPD products soon, according to company chairman Scott Liu. The color EPD products are likely to be adopted by Amazon, indicated the sources.

Touch panel maker TPK Holding reportedly has landed touch module orders for Amazon's color e-book readers, the sources added.
