Asus is a smart company and since their announcement of the DR 900 and DR 950 in March, quite a number of changes have occurred in the e-reader space, not to mention the tsunami of hype (and sales!) around the iPad launch. Asus may have determined coming to market without a distinct differentiator wasn't in their best interest at this time. Perhaps they will be the first colour e-ink maker out there with a DRM ePub unit instead.
