According to Nate The Great, they have done *something* and Mirasol is effectively dead:

Qualcomm has taken the Plastic Logic route: they can't get their yields up to economicaly viable levels so they're getting out of the Mirasol manufacturing business and will simply license their latest design to anybody who thinks they can do a better job building them.

That's pretty much the kiss of death--we might see the odd niche product but high volume affordable devices are off the table for at least the next two years.

So, no Mirasol Nooks incoming...
