What does development of eInk has to do with LCD technology? All computer monitors are LCD, most of TVs are. LCD technology is being used everywhere. All tablets are LCD based. They are equivalents of ebook readers. You cannot make it any better because you need a huge battery to support LCD for puny 10-12 hours and bigger cases to accommodate all of it.
Do you blame eInk that LCD development is stagnated and incapable of being able to be squeezed into ebook reader case of PRS-650 size and keep on running for 2 weeks without a need for recharge? For not being able to be readable on a sunny day?
eInk is a culprit.
Interesting.
