And since you didn't address that point, can I infer that you actualy didn't know Android was Linux based too?

==============

In the meantime, something interesting happened. The Android market got merged with three other services and got renamed into Google Play:

While the new name carries an expectation that a generic ereader device will not be able to fulfill, there is an open opportunity. Google Play now includes eBooks. And there is also a music store. So you could market a device being able to handle those two elements and maybe part of the app market too, if you are able to identify the apps that will or won't run on the device.

This something Sony might attempt to do. But an even better situation would be if Google decided to produce their own e-reader.
