Alisa,
I am in the bay area as well...I commute into SF 2 to 3 times a week. In Oct the bart stations were covered with ads for the Sony 505. They had replaced all of the usual iPod signs that cover all the poles and walls of bart. There was a big push when it came out.
When I bought my Sony Reader at the store in Meteron they did have it placed in a pretty good location and it was easy to find. Also the Borders stores in San Fran also have a big Sony Ereader display but when I some them they only had a sample 505 displayed.
So for a couple of months Sony did do a pretty good job of advertising at least in San Francisco in my opinion.
