Yes - released seven years ago.

This sort of very slow, low-dpi display is best used for signage, not reading books. The use case for colour readers is mostly in scientific papers and textbooks, where a high-resolution display is needed in order to read small fonts and detailed figures/tables. That market is only well filled by tablets at the moment, and I can't see this display changing that.

ETA: And children's books - but the fragility of eink displays means tablets are best suited there also.
