Not really. I'm just saying that eInk Corp has signed an exclusivity agreement with Sony and Amazon to provide them for some months with the Pearl screens, negating them to other manufacturers. If you're an EBR maker and you want to bring a new device to the market in October-November, Pearl is not available to you. The fact that manufacturers didn't release big screen readers may have more to do with Irex' demise and Ipad's success, which could have made them feel they weren't profitable and made them close shop (QUE's case).
