But that doesn't mean that SONY aren't experiencing a shortage of displays. Given the fact that screens have a single source of production, and that reader manufacturers probably have to bulk-order months in advance, it's certainly possible - likely, even - that Sony badly miscalculated the number of screens they'd require, which has resulted in a shortage for them.
