AFAIK, the planning was November/Christmas 2013, not 2014.

Developing a new e-reader wouldn't need to take 2-4 years, not even if it's a "weird" 8 inch model. If you want to be quick, then just design a nice case, get the guts of the thing into it (they're all commodity products now), and adapt Android for it. I think that, when starting from scratch, it could be done in under a year at most.
