The CEO decided to kill the product because by the time they had everything ready, the market had dramatically changed for eInk devices. Now that it's 10 years later, this is the right time for a 10 inch reader? I think not. I own dozens of eInk devices with my absolute favorite being the Entourage Edge. Most of their customers loved the product and had loyal followers, myself included. It would be pretty tough for reMarkable to duplicate their level of success. RIP Entourage Edge. RIP reMarkable.
