I emailed this person, she ignored me. So did Valerie Motis (a while back).
Pretty sure they won't jump out of their usual hardware refresh cycle, so we shouldn't expect new models sooner than early fall.
I wonder if they are really throwing in the towel in the U.S. Their inability to deliver is getting totally ridiculous. I am positive that the super-high demand for their product is not the reason. Not in the U.S. anyway, as the authorized resellers are all frustrated and puzzled by Sony's behavior, hanging up discontinuation notices on most Reader related products.
At least in Japan they found decency to apologize (with a stupid explanation that the demand was unexpectedly high), but here in the U.S. Sony's representatives ("Sony listens"?) pretend to be deaf and mute.
