No big deal. It's a Swiss company selling an Android 8" e-reader / tablet. But why don't we see American companies selling or producing these type of devices? There are a fair number of innovative companies producing this type of device in Europe and Asia: Onyx, Boyue, the above, and others I'm sure. They are using screens smaller than 6" and as large as 8", and larger.

So why aren't we seeing these innovative devices either being produced / designed or even directly sold to the USA market? To get one, we have to ship from Europe or Asia, which brings extra cost and hazards.

What happened to innovation in the American market?

It is called being priced out of the market. We cannot compete with the very low labor cost of the Asian countries.
