Want to know where you will see the most iPads? College campuses. They have their textbooks on them, they surf the web on them, and check their email.
If someone was going to buy a device to game, they would buy a much better, much cheaper portable game system. The concept isn't hard to grasp. They play games on them because they have them, they don't buy them to play games on them. If they did, they would be really stupid.

That's odd. I have seen iPads frequently outside college campuses and I'm pretty sure that HarryT, for example, isn't a college student. The article I referenced spoke of people aged 55-64 playing games. Doesn't seem like 'college age' to me. Could it be that you are just wrong about who buys iPads and what they use them for? After all, there are now close to 40 million iPad users -dummies all , according to you- and you haven't even seen them all, much less guessed at what they could be using their ipads for.
As for your Sony? It would be trivially easy to argue that it was overpriced even at $150. Don't get me wrong, its a good looking piece of kit. But I can think of three e-readers that are:
1. Cheaper than the Sony
2. Has more features than the Sony -wireless capability , for one.
3. Connects to a better bookstore than the Sony.
People in glass houses shouldn't be throwing any stones. Just sayin'.
