Thanks for the clarification. Just to comment, the release you quoted with respect to the sale of Skiff to News Corp was pretty much what all the news releases said. The wording of the release makes it sound far more like News Corp wasn't interested in the hardware, as opposed to Hearst "holding it back" from the sale of Skiff. A different spin, which definitely sounds more like the future of the hardware is a question of trying to find someone who is actually interested in buying it rather than it being in such hot demand that Hearst felt they could get more for the platform by holding it back and selling it separately. Time will tell. I'd really like to see a large platform e-reader like the Skiff was supposed to be, at a reasonable price.
