As such, the jury is definitely out on Android. We shall see...
The problem with the video is that "Sony Software" really tells us nothing about the OS.

The Readers never ran just "Sony Software." They are all Linux-based, even the PRS-500.

And to an Engineer like myself, "Sony Software" strongly implies -- if not outright states -- the application on top of the operating system (otherwise it would be "Sony OS"). So previously it ran "Sony Software" on Linux. Now, it runs "Sony Software" on...?

I'm betting it's Android.
