Which in turn points to this:

I'm having a little trouble making sense of this. However, it _really_ reminds me of one-time dreams of network appliances.
This time for sure, Rocky?
ETA: No, I _really_ can't make any sense of the offending sentence and neither can eWeek because they quoted it from DigiTimes without explanation.
"Taiwan-based notebook maker Quanta Computer has recently received OEM orders from Amazon for its reported tablet PC and the device will also receive full support from Taiwan-based electrophoretic display (EPD) maker E Ink Holdings (EIH) for supplying touch panel as well as providing its Fringe Field Switching (FFS) technology, according to sources from upstream component makers."
I get the Quanta got an order part. EPD would mean E-ink; FFS would mean LCD. One hesitates to say it can't be both, given what the E-Ink Nook and the Entourage Edge chose to do. So I'm still confused.
