They may know what they're doing, but many in the United States aren't willing to pay a substantial premium for it. Plenty of folks are mighty happy with their Kindles and Nooks. The Sony 950 was being sold at a closeout price of $199 at Best Buy. That was a reasonable price given the fact that you have access to the Sony bookstore (many titles aren't available). Sony continue to sell the thing for $299. That may attract Sony die hards, but that's too much for others in the U.S.
