Samsung axes its unprofitable e-paper business

Engadget reports Samsung is leaving the e-paper market due to cost issues. The company still has plans for the eReader market though, but this will be a device with an LCD screen.
While Samsung has yet to out an actual device boasting e-paper, but did show off a prototype late last year which boasted a color display. The official word from Samsung itself is that it will not actually exit the e-reader market, rather that it will produce a device with an LCD, with plans to launch said reader next year.
