It's worth bearing in mind that the eBook reader market is very,
very different in different parts of the world. The nook is a complete "non player" outside North America. Sony is the market leader in much of Western Europe; Pocketbook is in an equally dominant position in Eastern Europe. I don't know what dominates in the Far East, but I'm pretty sure it's not Kindle, nook,
or Sony.
