They actually did ship a production model in "quantity" for a pilot ereader program in Russian schools.

Moving to screens-only is a good way to leverage the value of their real corporate assets and get out of non-core activities (software, consumer electronics).

At least they're staying in the business for now, unlike Bridgestone:
