As someone who owns a Clie, an SACD player and a 505, I can understand this. At the same time, I still use the SACD player, I'd be using the Clie if I could find it, and I expect to use the 505 for a while.
To be honest, if Sony dropped support of the Reader tomorrow, I wouldn't be at a loss. We have tons of utilities to convert content to it. The ability to be able to mount it as a drive means I don't need the software. I could care less about Sony's store, since I buy most of my E-books elsewhere. I expect the lifespan of my reader to be pretty long.
While you can make some of the same arguments for the Kindle, some of the features of it, like the Wi-Fi access, is very much dependent on the whims of Amazon. Considering the premiums paid for it, I'm not sure it is worth more than the Sony Reader.
