, , , , , ,

You can do anything with emojis. Revisit your favorite TV shows or condense great works of literature. Like hashtags and GIFs, emoji is a language unto itself.

We’re tired of waiting. Mashable decided to create emojis to fill the gaps. After all, you’d be surprised how often we bring up robots in daily conversation. What new emojis would you want to see?

Amazon is set to make an announcement this morning at an event in Santa Monica, and Mashable is live on the scene. Photos of both an updated Kindle Fire and a new Kindle Touch with “Paperwhite” display have leaked out over the past few weeks, suggesting that both devices may see an update at Thursday’s event. The Kindle Fire was announced on September 28, 2011. The 7-inch tablet made a splash in the tablet world, primarily for its $199 price tag. In December 2011 customers purchased more than 1 million Kindles each week, allowing Amazon to sell 4.7 million of the e-readers during the 4th quarter.
