If Sony really have a failure rate more than 10x that of Bookeen, there's something very badly wrong.

Harry,
It was right in that thread whose link you edited out of your quote of my message (restored above). It was 11.27% of the respondents to JSWolf's poll "Has the screen of your 505 ever broken?" Granted, I made a big leap as I implied it was 10-15% of the general population. Hopefully it's not that much, but it was that fraction of the poll respondents. Go figure.
