I'm not sure if Amazon restricts supplies of Pearl panels to other e-reader producers in any way. Another reason of PocketPock using the old Vizplex panels might be that they are cheaper than Pearl panels or that they still have a huge stock of the old panels and want to get rid of these before they loose their value completely. But that's all just a bit of bold speculation.  |
So I understand there are 2 kind of possibilities:
a) Amazon blocks PB buying pearl display
b) PB has a lot of vizplex panels already bought and needs to get rid of them first
For me b) it seems theoretical possible but too stupid.
