Well, Ectaco starts with pushing color-ink big time in the US, and have been fairly successful apparently in Russia - if you can believe their YouTube videos.
And they could be actually making money because they target the education sector/market, which is huge. Amazon seems to aim in that direction too.
Whereas PB and Onyx have no link between hardware and media - most people buy these devices for reading PDFs. Nothing to earn here. Amazon and the rest are making their profits with ebooks, not with hardware.
From that perspective it is kind of a miracle that PB and Onyx have survived so far ...
