Thanks for the link, your probably right about Entourage abandoning the edge because of this. It was only one month after they got the patents that Entourage threw in the towel and I'm sure the little lawsuit they brought against Barnes and Nobel got entourage scared that they would need to succumb to Spring Design. Hopefully with all of this throat cutting Spring design can at least get a decent device out on the market to make it worth while. If they could make something similar to the edge with more e-ink to lcd tricks I'd be all over it. Does Entourage have any patents out on the book style format (or on anything for that matter)?
