E Ink Forecasts Loss as eBook Device Demand Falls

E Ink Holdings Inc (元太科技), which supplies e-paper displays for Amazon.com Inc’s Kindle e-reader series, yesterday said it may see losses this quarter and the next one because of weak seasonal demand.

Revenue is expected to fall by between 5 percent and 10 percent from last quarter’s NT$5.86 billion (US$192.4 million), chief financial executive Eddie Chen (陳彥松) told an investors’ conference.
