Netronix increases ebook device shipments
Taiwanese manufacturer of network products and multimedia peripherals Netronix is boosting their shipments of ebook readers. The company shipped 2,000 to 3,000 ebook devices a month in the third quarter, compared with 1,000 to 2,000 a month in the first half, Digitimes writes, citing unnamed company sources.
By Q4, the company is expected to ship around 5,000 devices per month with revenues accounting for 10 percent of the company’s total revenues. Mod added: PVI holds substantial shares in Netronix. PVI is the main producer of E Ink display panels, and supplies Sony and Amazon among others. |

I believe they are a privately owned company, Bob. Not traded on any stock market.

*BIG FLIPPING DEAL!!!* I've sent them several emails over the last week (to a personal contact as well as support) asking for an RMA number so I could get the broken screen on my EB-100 repaired or replaced. Nothing! No feedback. No contact. No response. It's worse than the lack-of-support effort we'd seen from Bookeen about two months ago! Who gives a flying fig about increased shipments if they're not going to provide *SUPPORT* when a reader breaks! Derek |

I assume it's mostly OEM units like Cybook, Orsio etc.
