He got it because he asked you what it was. The Sony was sold in bookstores, that is where I saw it for the first time, and it was still not known in the US. I happened to notice it one day and mentioned it to my then boyfriend, now hubby. I needed to get new bookshelves soon and the idea of an e-reader sounded great. I ended up with a Kindle. This was a year after the Kindle had been released. So, pre-Kindle, I had no clue about e-readers. I have a feeling that I am in the majority and we are talking in the US with the Sony being sold in some well known stores.
