"...hopes, however, rest with the co-founders of NuvoMedia, Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. We note that the non-compete clause that Yuen imposed on them will expire this year.

We pray that they may be able to follow in the footsteps of Kerry Packer, who bought the Nine Network back from Alan Bond at a fraction of the sale price, and bring back the Rocket eBook. But we are suckers for e-books with happy endings." [via libraryplanet]

Just left Jenny @ The Shifted Librarian a comment along these same lines.

"...it's a pretty sad day for the technology when you think "...I'm saying good things like this about a device like this?"

A sad day indeed."
