Sony has a reader. It's the 650. It works. It works well. The interface is well done. ADE on it works well too.
Now, waiting is what will help Sony. If there is problems/issues with the software on the nook & Kobo, then Sony will be out front just due to having good software. When the Kobo first came out, I was thinking of maybe getting one for my mother-in-law. But I didn't because the software on it was buggy and still is.
Has Kobo learned from this and made sure ADE on the new touch is not buggy? Can't say until we see them in the wild. Has B&N used a newer ADE and introduced new bugs? No idea. Again it has to be in the wild. Sony doesn't have these sort of bugs. In fact, ADE for the 505 was one of the most stable versions of ADE when ADE first came out for readers beyond Sony. Sony has good software on it's side for one thing. We can't say the others do yet.
