I would add that Sony produced an upgraded model of the Reader last fall while continuing to support the previous model, upgraded their site software, released an upgrade of the firmware, is planning to soon release another upgrade with better PDF support, has either promised or at least strongly suggested future support for Adobe DE, has partnered with Borders who now also show and sell the Reader in their stores, has consistently increased the number of titles that they sell by about 10% per month for at least the past six months, and has lowered the prices of those titles to more or less match Amazon. I really don't see anything there that would hint at a company who is about to dump us in the gutter. At least I hope not.
