*iPad is not a dedicated reading device so it shouldn't have been in the list. However you can extrapolate from the figures that Amazon sells 12 times as many Kindles as Sony sells Sony Readers! If I was the eInk provider I would certainly cater to Amazon rather than Sony and B&N who combined are outsold nearly 6 to 1 by Amazon.
The article is useless and the numbers bogus. Amazon and Sony (not sure of B&N) do not release numbers. And since Sony is selling readers left and right, I'd say Sony probably is selling more then the nook (IMHO).
