IDC said Sony sold 1.1 million eReader devices in 2009? That is pretty interesting. According to
this article about eInk displays, the market has been tripling in size every year since 2006.
2011 projection: 27 million
2010: ~9 million
2009: ~3 million
That means Sony had over a third of the market before the Nook came in late 2009, and less than 9% a year later? Brutal.
