Succinctly and aptly put, scrapking. This post, like others of yours on this thread, add to the conversation and benefit other people who happen to be reading it despite the annoyance of individuals with rather particular criteria. Feel free to expand and expound for those who don't mind walls (or wells) of text. Again, well said.

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.
