Thanks for the education! Here in the US everything is about Kindle. Sony has been making readers for ages, but no one seems to have heard of such a thing until the Kindle. I do find it interesting that the Sony readers are the biggest in Europe, makes sense, but I just was a bit ignorant. And as I said the the OP the Nook is not really a big player, it may be later, but not yet.
Anyway, thanks for enlightening me
