Asked when they expect to hit the marked, he said next summer, so summer 2018. As I have not heard anything yet I suppose it was just fair-talk...
Netronix's 13.3" reader was unofficial copy of Sony's 1st generation Digital Paper. Probably without Sony's permission and that's why it never took off.

Since the beginning of Russian-Ukraine war (since 2014-present) Pocketbook is in limbo. It would be a big surprise to see rebranded Digital Paper with Pocketbook name.
But you never say never.
