Is that what this is about? I never asserted that I had the hard data you asked for, though I did have hard data to make the assertion I made: that Sony's marketshare had fallen in the wake of competition aligning itself with bookstores. That doesn't mean it had done so everywhere in the globe, just that I had hard data that demonstrated that phenomenon had occurred somewhere (and therefore could occur elsewhere, if it wasn't already).
Then you go into a long, insulting aside that I somehow want Sony to fail, which is completely bizarre and inconsistent with my comments about wanting Sony to release a front-lit e-reader, and wanting them to succeed at it. The whole reason I joined this thread, in fact, was essentially to say three things:
1) I believe the assertion this thread is based on is false; the technology is there, the challenge is in implementation; Kobo did it correctly once, Sony can do so again.
2) I believe Sony would benefit from doing so now, when the competition is scrambling to get it right; if Sony does it right now, they can steal share from those who haven't quite got it right yet, I believe.
3) I would like Sony to do so, and I would like to see them succeed at it.
