I would expect sales of Eink screens at least to be higher before new launches. They must have the screens to build the readers. Early Q2 seems about right for higher sales as companies producing ereaders would want the latest product they can get and still make production deadlines. Buy the screens too soon and a competitor might be able to make a better ereader. Buy them too late, and you will not get to market in time to compete with this years crop.
