Hello, just read the following, several sites reported it.

To make it short, noone really knows what the future is.
Skiff's reader platform itself was sold, the hardware of the ereader wasn't.
And the guy who owns the rights of it is planning to get it in production, whatever that means, since it seemed it would be past prototype stage and could be a succesful reference model in general.
Perhaps, it would have been too expensive to find enough customers?
So basically, that's why it's perhaps gone for good.
At least in the near future.
