IS not normal that with this level of innovation that is almost not existent, eink manufacturers show bad financial results, having one product and thousands of devices equal, is not logical with these premises that  people buy tablets that destroy their eyes with long reading sessions and last few hours as allured by the fact they can see video and have smoother screens and fast processors every three months faster? |
I think that the fundamental issue that eInk readers face is what feature or innovation would cause people to buy new devices. I do most of my reading on an iPad and an iPad mini. I have Sony PRS-T2 that I use for backpacking and for situations where the two week battery life and super light weight comes in handy, but I really can't think of anything that makes me say "If only I could find an eInk device that does ..., I would buy it".
