PVI has been so hush-hush on details, they may just not want the actual capacity of their factory to be common knowledge.

Just an idle wondering, that. Don't take it for more than it is.
I should have mentioned where I had read the artical its in Publishers Weekly.
the artical was wondering about Amazons Kindle Sales numbers. It got me wondering as well. P.W. took the position that Amazon should be shouting their numbers from the roof-top since that is more typical. (according to Pub.weekly)
It was the artical's position that perhaps Amazon was having diffuculty with the kinlde since the Ink Screens might be diffucult to get from France.
Personly, I am just trying to decide if its the Kindle I should buy or if I should wait till later in the year when demand slows since it seems there will be new generations of readers on the market. Of corse that might re-raise the intrest in readers again!
