I'm sure they do, too, but I don't think it's as if they risk losing millions of sales to those who are flocking to the Sony. This is still very much a fringe market. When people see me in public with my Reader, it seems to be absolutely new to all of them. They've never even heard of the thing. So I think Amazon has plenty of time to improve their device and build content. I certainly don't want them to release something that's poorly designed that will hurt the near-term future of these devices. And in the meantime, the best thing that we owners can do is to show off the devices we have to help drum up interest.
