I doubt there is any newer information on this than in the March 29 Taipei Times article linked in the OP. Management is predicting a "strong likelihood" of a loss for the first half of 2014, but they aren't saying how much. And they are saying revenue has declined between five and ten percent.

The company does have some, apparently smaller, revenue streams beyond the familiar monochrome displays:

So we can't say for sure whether the number of eInk eReader shipped is actually in decline.
