I'm not sure it matters. Even accepting the statistics of 60-80,000 screens per month, you are talking 720,000 to 960,000 units in 2008, which is still a significant amount. And even if we assume that the real number is 720,000 units and that Sony and Amazon combined account for just 50% of that volume, which is probably low but not unreasonable, that's still a lot of e-book readers being sold in the U.S., considering this is breakthrough technology at this point (at least in the consumer world).
