But anyway, I might be wrong, I might be overreacting. When I get the cybook I will probably forget about this anyway.  |
If they're anything like M-Edge - the company, I'm willing to bet the manufacturer of the covers keeps all the cutting patterns to itself. Which means any *new* company will have to start over from scratch. That's just smart business sense as it keeps the commercial customer "loyal" to the softcover manufacturer. Don't know why you haven't figured that out. So for any "second-source" supplier to make the case, that supplier would have to "re-invent the wheel" so to speak. That takes time.
Or do you really believe Apple shares it's iPhone secrets with LG??? (Which is about what you're suggesting vis-a-vis the Cybook softcover.)
