Obviously that is fine but do you think that it is wise for Sony to bank on people like yourself to keep their e-readers afloat?
I look forward to seeing how Sony responds to this. I would hope that they release a new e-reader that can differentiate itself from the others and keep the line going. Sony has done some great things for e-readers and I don't want them to go away. Competition is good for prices and features. Losing one of the earlier players would be sad.
That said, Sony is going to have to come out with something spectacular if they want to keep charging what they do and not have people move to the Kobo or Nook.
