Apparently, mass production is being delayed due to issues with the device's front-light design.
If the issues are not resolved, the device will have to be delayed until later in the third quarter, say the same sources.
The front-light design, which was introduced earlier this year by Barnes & Noble with their Nook Simple (with GlowLight), allows for illumination in low-light areas. Amazon will need to match the game-changing feature, and fast.
Reports indicate that Amazon has been forced to stop some parts shipments while the issues are worked out.
