PVI asked to keep quiet about E Ink shipment figures

How many E Ink display panels did Prime View International ship this year? How many of them went to Amazon (Kindle) and Sony (Reader)? In the words of a wise man: Seal up your lips and give no words but mum. Which is pretty much what PVI has been told:

Quote:
With a 90% share of the EPD market, PVI nevertheless has been asked by its major clients, such as Sony and Amazon, not to reveal its EPD shipment figures, industry sources claimed.

Sony's e-Reader and Amazon's Kindle account for more than half of EPD shipments, the sources said.

Does anyone care to speculate why our friends from Amazon and Sony would be so desperate to keep hints of actual sales figures hidden? It makes you wonder... anyways, according to the same report, PVI is going to single out revenues from their e-paper business starting next year. Then we'll know more.
