They've been doing this for years.

Other manufacturers are forcing onyx to release huge upgrades to their devices faster than expected like the new pro lineup with flushed screens, 4gb of ram, light, that otherwise they wouldn't have been release for another year or longer.
The Likebook mimas with a light is certainly a unique device but it is no where near 13.3". It is 10.3" which is only incrementally larger than 9.7" Even today, only Likebook has managed to make this screen lighting. E Ink, where Onyx gets their screens does not make a lighted screen on screens larger than 9.7" Onyx and most other reader manufacture's don't have this technology and are not likely to develop it on their own. If you want to holler, holler at E Ink. Putting a glass screen with dual touch screen and other features is no small task on the bigger devices. Many have been announced that never saw the light of day. It isn't even clear that the market is there.
