Despite funding, the market for devices for reading electronic books is almost not growing.

Recently, investors have invested more than $ 16 million in E-Ink, an e-paper company that is used to create e-book readers. Thus, according to VentureWire, a total of $ 150 million was invested in the company. The market, however, did not grow from this. Although everyone likes the idea of ​​devices for electronic books - this is both the preservation of trees, and the ability to replace hundreds of books with just one - no one is going to buy them.



The most famous product that uses E-Ink displays is the Sony Reader e-book reader, but the Japanese company is not completely happy with the sales of this device.



If you go back to history, then in the 90s of the last century, devices for reading electronic books were also left without proper attention: then NuvoMedia and SoftBook Press released electronic books aimed at ordinary and business users, respectively, but none of the devices turned out to be in demand .
