How sony won't or can't issue a 9.7" reader, they really can't undercut amazon it seems in price.

A real pity because a 9.7 reader without the silly restrictions from amazon is needed urgently.

Sony has been (again) very underwhelming with their approach here. This company used to be innovative, to actually bring something to the table instead of following trends and coming up with a half decent product based on the financial bottom line only, and on the clout that sony has.

I guess pretty much only apple and apple left in the tec world with some guts and some vision. Sadly they are not into e-ink, yet.
