Just out of curiosity, why is E Ink the important thing here? I'm located outside of the US and I don't know who either company is, so they both hold equal importance to me.
Actually if I was from Taiwan, PVI would be the important thing to me.
they make the screens in the kindle and sony ebook.
Personally I knew who PVI was, but only because my dad's friend contracted in Singapore and then Taiwan. The thing that attracted me to the article was actually the dollar amount.
