While I really hope that the picture that Poppaea is painting is true and gets better for Sony (because I still think that the kindle looks fugly...). However, I'm still of the idea that the revenue that amazon is getting from the kindle (books+hardware) far surpasses the one Sony is getting from its hardware because as I've said before... the marketing models of the two are different!
Amazon is centred on the software and selling of books while Sony is on the hardware. As a clear example you can see the kindle apps for iOS and Android. In my opinion, if Amazon sees the revenue of the hardware part of the kindle section declining, it's not going to hesitate to drop it like a rock and rely on other readers for making da monies. However at the cheap-o price of their reader it's highly unlikely.
