Polymer Vision gets new lease on life thanks to Wistron

Poor Readius, we barely knew ye and your folding e-ink screen before parent company Polymer Vision went bankrupt and, well, that was the end of that. Or was it? Wistron apparently made a bid for the remains of the company over the summer and, as of September, Polymer was acting as a division of the Acer spin-off. The Wistron board has finally approved the €12 million ($18 million) investment and so where once there were two companies now there is one. The jury is still out on whether the Polymer Vision brand will survive, but its technology -- and legend -- will still burn.

YES!!!! Every time I read of an e-reader I think of this one and sigh at it's death. Hopefully it'll make it to production this time.

Agree. This is the only eReader I want. Prays it makes it to production.
