Heavens - I'm certainly not trying to suggest that Bookeen gets as many hits as Amazon and yes, you're absolutely right in saying that Amazon have, without a shadow of a doubt, brought eBook readers to the attention of many millions of people in the US who would not have previously come across them. That's true beyond any shadow of a doubt.

No, the issue that I believe we're discussing here (and forgive me if I've misunderstood, please) is whether, within the specialised MobiRead community, whose members will all have a pretty fair appreciation of the eBook market, it is "news" that a particular eBook device is "out of stock", given the fact that they are all dependent upon a single screen manufacturer (PVI, in Taiwan), whose manufacturing capability is currently woefully inadequate to keep up with demand from Amazon, Bookeen, Sony, Hanlin, and all the rest.
