My point is it is pointless to compare a rumor ad with Amazon's actual marketing ads.

I think the reason is that when the ereader business just started, it was just a snitch sector. There was very few people interested in them. It's the earlier adopters like people on MR and earlier manufacturers like Sony and IREX that slowly build the market. No one know that ereader business would grow to where it is today. Hence, Sony decided that it would concentrate on other sectors like PS3, LCD TV, Digital Camera, VAIO Laptop, MP3 players, and Camcorder.
I agree with you on the fact that SONY's advertisement for the ereader is pretty weak.
