Does anyone know how many units Sony has sold? I have no real data with which to form a good opinion but I've been interested in readers for quite a while and never heard any buzz about them anywhere but gadget blogs and here. I have another board I go to, mostly a women's community, not tech-centered at all, and folks there were talking about the Kindle. Several were sorely disappointed that it was sold out already. That makes me suspect that Amazon could outsell Sony pretty handily. They have better visibility it seems and I think people are more likely to trust the longevity of Amazon as a bookseller than Sony. Now if Sony and Borders could actually get moving on their partnership, we might have a real horserace.
