Not just that, it is quite possible by then more readers equivalent to the Iliad will be out. If the initial readers do well, who is to say that Sony won't release a larger one of their own? Additionally, perhaps better e-ink technology will be available (with a better refresh rate)....all in all, I doubt they'd delay things unless something disasterous has happened--and it would be very bad form to inform people of this at the moment they were supposed to release the device; they'd probably lose customers over that alone.
