In your mind, and your mind only. Believing every rumor, prototype and hype isn't my idea of "realistic" but I suppose we can't all view the world with the same optimism that you do.

So rarely that I wouldn't use it as a basis to give credence to one of the most popular devices in modern history not being further developed.

You know what else was one of the most popular devices in modern history? The BlackBerry. And the company that makes them is rapidly approaching extinction.
Your attitude, in many ways, is reminiscent of the former CEO of RIM. He, too, refused to see a rapidly emerging market (the iPhone and the subsequent smartphone explosion) as a threat, claiming that the people who bought those were not like
their customers.
Their customers were loyal.
Their customers wanted something only BlackBerry could give them.
Their customers couldn't care less about the damn iPhone. Just a pretty toy, that's all that is.

In a cutthroat industry they will keep it on the backburner. E Ink Holdings Inc., while this is happening will just sit and twiddle their thumbs or maybe take up knitting until Amazon et al., is ready.
Not going to happen.

Yeah, because E-Ink Holdings hasn't done shit in the last two years. In fact, take away the incremental improvements in eInk screen technology, and they really haven't done anything significant in several years. So pardon my skepticism over the idea that they are the innovators of the future.
