Sharp to Discontinue Original Galapagos e-readers, 7-inch species survives

The manufacture of Sharp announced that it will stop taking orders for Galapagos e-readers 5.5- and 10.8-inch Android tablets on September 30th, just nine months after they first launched.

A company confirmed that Sharp isn't leaving the market altogether, as it plans to continue churning out the 7-inch A01SH that launched last month.

The Japan-based firm is confident that "the market for electronic books will continue to expand," but decided to terminate its older slates because they've already "fulfilled the purposes that they were designed for."

Sharp declined to disclose sales figures for the doomed devices, though local media outlets are reporting that they may have been squeezed out of the Japanese market by the iPad - a decidedly Darwinian explanation.
