I guess my analogy was off but the point was right. Actually automobile assembly lines can build all kinds of assortments of cards. My dad worked for GM in Kansas City where they built buicks, oldsmobiles, and pontiacs on the same line. But that was some sophisticated assembly, a little more advanced that what I would expect the e-INK line to be and at least the cars looked different. Imagine trying to keep all those displays that looked the same from getting mixed up.
