It isn't a matter of Sony being a superior company -- they've been known to make shoddy and pointlessly restrictive products as well as masterpieces of innovation -- it's a matter of their being good at this particular thing.

However, I'm not going to claim that a reader is exceptionally well made until I actually hold it in my hands. Sony could decide to use cheaper materials at any point, like any other profit-driven company.
Until Sony makes a shoddy Reader, I'll just go with Sony making good quality Readers.
