I guess I have again made the foolish assumption that someone was interested
in actually obtaining the information, but as usual the inquiry was
only to make a point. There is no intent to actually spend the effort to
follow any suggestion that might lead to an answer to the question.
Oh, well.

Sorry, but I am still interested in the answer to the question I asked. Judging by your many helpful contributions I thought you might have some idea how many people are involved in the development of "fringe" products by PB, Onyx, Ectaco.
So this was a precise question and you seemed to digress into rather general territitory instead of just saying "I have no idea".
To relate the size of a company to the actual success of a reader in my opinion is not far fetched: people using PB, Onyx, Ectaco do not seem to be as satisfied as people using, Kobo, Sony, Kindle, B&N.
And that is because they release working products. Firmware is improved when necessary(or in some cases like the DX you can notice that nothing happens any more).
PB, Onyx, Ectaco seem to throw more or less experimental products on the market - and users hope for improvements.
As I am primarily interested in the Jetbook Color, it is of importance to know how many devices they produce or how many people are involved in the developing the software.
I they would have come out with a "perfect" device all the questions would be obsolete.
I hope I made myself clear - and I didn't want to make any "points"...
