Taken by itself, the Marvell Armada 166e chip seems very similar to the Freescale i.MX embedded processor, which will also integrate the display controller from E Ink, the display technology at the heart of many e-readers, including the Amazon Kindle.

But the partnership with FirstPaper will also allow color graphics of different display sizes. On Monday, Marvell announced design wins with EnTourage Systems for its EnTourage Edge e-reader/netbook, which will ship in early 2010. The Armada 166e chip will also be included in the dual-screen Spring Design Alex e-reader. Plastic Logic will also debut a Marvell-powered device at the Consumer Electronics Show this January, Plastic Logic said.
