Many thanks to our friend Jorgen for digging up this link to an interesting post at Global SMT & Packaging about the explosive state of sales in the E Ink display market where they’re reporting a 417% increase in sales from 950 thousand units in 2008 to a whopping 5 million electronic display shipments in 2009. With the ongoing shift to digital publishing, this trend is expected to continue into 2010.
This sudden explosion in sales was first driven by the Amazon Kindle’s popularity, but has since branched out to cover devices from several competing technology companies. Check out the article here. It’s a fantastic read that is very exciting news for the eBook Revolution. (Great find Jorgen! Have you been over to Jorgen’s World, yet? Beautiful photography!)
