No.
Agreed.

As a general rule if you see a patent before a product then you won't see the product. Patents take so long to file that companies can usually release the product in a much shorter time frame.

I suspect the correct question should be.
Is Apple going to be ready to sue anyone who tries to produce the e-ink flexible big size e-reader/tablet?

I'm sure it's not the correct answer. Like most tech companies, Apple has many patents. Sometimes they lead to products, most of the time they don't.
