Acer drops e-book reader idea

Acer, the Taiwanese computing giant, has issued a statement that they will not jump aboard the e-book bandwagon since the market is not big enough while the business model isn’t right. Could this be a case of sour grapes, otherwise Amazon wouldn’t be the runaway winner at point of publishing and still turn a profit with their Amazon Kindle? Too bad for Acer then, since it would be a classic case of “less men, more share”, as they wait for the cake to grow bigger before taking a bite.
