Yeah, I do believe they lost a lot of their main supporters when they canceled all the pre-orders. If the irrelevance doesn't get em, their reputation for not delivering will. Man..

I'd be real interested to know how Amazon's DX has been selling the last few months. Any ereader priced anywhere close to the iPad is likely having extreme sales pressure at the moment, and will remain so until eink turns color with refresh rates at least in the low 20fps range. Now that would be an interesting alternative... |

There's plenty of room in the market for larger, business, eInk screens. But the backer is going to be a company who can get a decent production volume, a larger player...
And the DX is selling as well as it ever did. Unsurprisingly. (If eInk matters to you, it matters, and IPS is not OLED) |

The Kindle DX is currently #11 in Electronics sales at Amazon. I don't know if this is as good as ever, but it has to represent a significant volume of sales.

Exactly, relative sales position
![]() No, it's not sales figures, but it's pretty good. |

Big real e-reader will only be competitive again when mirasol takes over...

The best indication the public will have of how well the DX sells is pricing. If they keep the $489 price in the face of severe competition from iPad and all the forthcoming tablets, then there must be a sufficiently large market, even if it is a tiny niche in the big picture, to make at least one large e-ink reader economically viable at a price tag that puts it in direct competition with lcd devices that render pages faster, and in color, and can do a hundred things that the DX does not. I'm betting they drop the price considerably. |

Actually, the price dropping might be due to the fact that the screens are becoming cheaper, so that's not indicative either.
And um, you just accused a publically traded company of major fraud. |
