During its Kickstarter campaign, Superbook managed to raise nearly $3 million in 2016. The team at Andromium had hoped to begin shipping Superbooks to backers in February, but like with almost every Kickstarter campaign, the date has been pushed back a few months.
According to the company, the reason for the delay is due to modifications made to the original design that would make it easier to manufacture. The Superbook is currently scheduled to begin shipping in June.
When you're manufacturing 20,000 instead of 200 units, there is very little room for iteration or failure. Each mistake could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars or more — and in the end, delay the process even more than necessary.
