That's not what's meant here.
When Amazon failed with a larger screen Kindle, they never made another that was larger than 6". When Sony failed with a front lit Reader, they never made another.
Yes, Both Amazon & Sony have failed at OTHER things, but all it takes is one fail at a Reader feature to have that feature go away and never be tried again even though things have changed enough to make diving into these features again a worth while thing to do.
