But it basically killed walkman. They exist, are superior to ipods in any regard, but when "walkman" is mentioned in media, they mean ancient tape device.
GG Sony.

I'm not sure about that. Most people buyng Sony's that I know already were Sony Reader owners. Most of thew "new customers" that I know, learned there is such thing as Kindle and bought one.

Look at ereaders' prices in Europe: they're all plummeting, except Sony's.
The same situation is in US, this doesn't mean Sony sells more.
