Well, I certainly agree with how web "journalism" has taken a unsubstantiated blog post and twisted it into a full blown product release (and yet some of those same sources will print a manufacturers press release verbatim!), there does appear to be a little more to the story now.

I can't imagine Sony contacting Teleread weeks in advance for a presentation for anything other than a product announcement. I'm not aware of Sony hosting "funerals" for product lines.

I do wonder if Sony has any plans for additional product distribution. Now that Borders is also featuring the Kobo and Aluratek lines, Sony is going to need to cast a wider net to be the luxury reader. Department stores like Macy's carry electronics in the Christmas season. A display in their 800+ US stores wouldn't hurt.
