I agree with your basic premise, Sony will likely exit the market. Like Taoist I was around for all their prior mistakes too. You even forgot a few, like MMCD, ATRAC, SDDS, Super-Audio CD, and memory stick! But the Sony is still the best current reader for me. Since I am not buying Sony-format books the future failure of Sony does not matter to me. I do not expect my reader itself to last more than 3 to 5 years.
If you are using the Whispernet capability to buy Kindle format books you should be far more concerned than most of us Sony owners. Amazon has no better track record than Sony in regards to formats. Or did you not know they own the standard Mobi format yet decided to screw DRM'd Mobi book owners with the Kindle?
