This was in an email I just got. Broken English, email address of sender @gmail.com, link to totally non-Sony site - all suggest a scam to trick people into downloading malware to me.

It seems similar to another one also relating to a Sony Reader-focused site as I recall. That was several weeks ago I think, and I deleted that one.

I wonder if some bots are picking up emails from sites like this. Have any others seen this?
