...and if not for a Kindle, it is arguable whether there would be an eInk industry at all.

The LIBRIé failed in the U.S. market place. And the status of the current Sony eInk 'industry' is like a good old-fashioned Ma and Pa Kettle black-and-white film from the 1940s....moribund, extinct. But still enjoyable, if one likes to reminisce.

The Kindle (the last time I looked) is still going strong....
