Yeah... cause Sony doesn't have any money at all. :rolls eyes:

Amazon has money and made it a PRIORITY. Sony has money and did the same half-ass thing they always do... make a good product and then leave it out to dry. Part of making a product successful is PR. Sony's REALLY bad at PR. I have a lot of Sony products... they're all great, but hell if I would have heard about them if I relied on standard routes of info.

At the same time.... I don't think the press would have picked up on the Kindle if it wasn't for the whispernet, newspapers, price, selection, etc... Ebooks have been around forever, but the Kindle was a game changer.
