+1. Can anyone really see a difference between carta and pearl without looking pretty hard at a side by side comparison?

LCD is improving way faster than eink. Either eink has hit the limit of the tech or they just don't have the money to invest in improving it. And since the tech is not improving, people are not buying. Vicious circle.
