Lots of Chinese electronics assemblers looking for devices to make, so no surprise a lot jumped into the ereader market. No surprise most of them got nowhere, too.

Hanvon's big enough that it can afford to take a punt on colour eInk, but they'll be lucky to cover their costs domestically.

And even luckier to gain any traction outside of the domestic market.

He might. The question I asked is whether the general market does.
