If you guys notice I stated that the article CLAIMED those figures. That is, there was no substantiation. I suspect they did a market survey of reader customers to see who had bought what. Such a survey would possibly be fairly accurate if conducted scientifically.
And BTW, as of 1426 CST the US store shows only the Red 650, no black one, and they are still out of stock as they have been the three times I've checked today.

I can do a survey of 100 people and those 100 people could all own a K3 or those 100 people could all own a nook or they could all own a Sony. Or 75% could own Sony and 25% own K3. It's not scientific. It's bunk. As we do not get hard numbers, these sorts of articles are pure speculation.
The reason I say the article is BS is because Sony is sold outside the USA and there is no way Sony will not have more units out there then the nook. Also, remember Sony has had more models then just the nook. So taking into account all the Sony Readers in use today world wide or even just the USA, the numbers given are most likely wrong. And my guess is that the Kindle numbers are too high. But again, that is just a guess. But as for the nook vs. Sony numbers, I'm pretty sure I am correct.
