Obviously, based on their apparently recent official announcement that Sony is truly abandoning the American market for e-readers, I have to eat some crow. (see my earlier statement in this thread about Sony and the T-3, and how they could not be abandoning the USA market.)
I am truly and deeply disappointed. I was going to buy a T-3 when they became available. Two years ago I bought T-1's for my children and their spouses.
It certainly appears that USA Sony reader fans have just been orphaned.
Being treated like this will certainly make me think long and hard in future before I buy any Sony product.
It is one thing to discontinue a product line; another thing altogether to sell it in the rest of the world and not offer it in the States.
I would think Sony could sell T-3's through their bookstore and not offer the PRS T-3 reader into the distribution chain. But I have to think Sony will be closing down the USA Sony bookstore in the very foreseeable future.
This is a very sad day for Sony e-reader fans.
