Amazon.com Inc.’s latest Kindle device, which may be unveiled next week, is poised to become the biggest threat to Apple Inc.’s iPad this holiday season.
Amazon has announced plans for a press conference Sept. 28 in New York, raising speculation that the company will provide its first glimpse of the new Kindle. The latest iteration of the e-book reader will have an improved interface and double as a tablet computer, with a touch screen in full color, said Anupam Palit, an analyst at GreenCrest Capital Management in New York.
