Only Amazon and B&N are major players in the US, IIRC. Kobo also plays a minor role. I'm hoping that Kobo can become more popular in the US, to create more competition, since B&N doesn't seem to be very active in that lately.

Kobo at least is trying, despite their regular missteps; their deals with indie bookstores at least puts their readers somewhere ordinary readers might run into them. Sony just hasn't done much since the release of the T1. No ads, no widespread B&M presence... All they've done is cater to the faithful.
