I suppose if Sony does drop ebooks (and I don't know if they will, and I don't own a Sony Reader anyway), it's possible that someone else will buy that end of the business. Maybe even Amazon, but I kind of doubt it. They'd have to either support BBeB or provide a software patch to convert Sony devices into virtual Kindles, then convert existing Sony purchases to Kindle store purchases. I think that would be a brilliant move on their part (if Sony does exit the market), but it wouldn't be cheap for them.
On the other hand, Borders or Barnes & Noble might take on the Sony ebook business entirely.
