Have to agree.....this forum has little, or no impact on the Sony sales. The entirety of people I know with eReaders acquired them as gifts from family members, or bought them for themselves. All were impulse buys with zero research done beforehand. None of them had any idea what they could, or couldn't do with them when they got them. None of them have Sonys. I would attribute this to the higher prices Sony asks for them. As far as most were, (are) concerned, one reader was no different than any other....so the less expensive ones won out.
When I decided on the 650, it was pretty much a case of elimination. I ruled out a Kindle because I thought it was a crappy piece of hardware, and the Nook was too heavy, and I was concerned about the battery life. I had joined the Kindlebook forum and the NookBook forum long before arriving here.
I'm the one exception out of everyone I know that has eReaders.
