That whole story?



I don't think the keyboard is "cheap." You might prefer the touch screen, but it makes the barrier to entry higher for prospective ebook buying customers of Sony books than for Kindle books.



yes, Barnes and Noble is everywhere here.



Okay, so there are Sony stores here, though they're few and far between, and I've never seen one in my life.



Also, if my wife's Kindle breaks and we receive a replacement free of charge, including shipping within 2 days of my calling Amazon CS about it, I'd say I don't need a local Amazon store.

That is a complete list of Sony retailers. It's a huge list.
