What would be the point in advertising a device which is already in short supply?
PVI (the screen manufacturer) are running their production facilities flat out to try to satisfy the demand for screens for the Sony, Gen3, and Kindle (all of which use the same screen). All three are selling every unit they can produce. There would be absolutely no point whatsoever in increasing demand - all it would achieve would be lengthy waiting lists and angry customers.
When manufacturing capacity is able to keep up with demand, THEN will be the time to advertise. Now, though, it would be counter-productive.
