Yes, but are those based on existing stock that the company already had, or based on production of new units? It sounds to me like it's generally the newer readers coming out (Nook, Sony Reader, DR800) that are having the shortage. That may point the finger at a manufacturing backlog. Established devices (Kindle, etc) may have already built up enough stock on hand to satisfy demand.
Keep in mind that all of these devices get their screens from the same source. The shortage may actually be coming from PVI, which would effect all devices. It's just that new devices are more vulnerable to this because they don't have existing stock.
