Given that the NDA term for one of those filings expires in June or July, this seems unlikely. An example of sloppy research at the very least.
Yes. Sloppy.

The idea of a bookshop and ereader didn't work for Sony, and probably isn't working for Barnes & Noble Nook.

Amazon doesn't need to make money at all from Kindle having of 90% of English ebooks worldwide and their markeplaces are tiny now compared to main revenue.

Google can't be making much from GooglePlayBooks, but doesn't matter. Ditto Apple and their (i)Books.

Onyx, Pocketbook, Meebook etc are niche and reMarkable is a niche in a niche (Digital Paper Tablet, not an ereader) and I wonder why they still exist.
