A lot of energy and dosh (that's £'s & $'s) were, in my opinion, wasted - Sony could never hope to get up there with the big player suppliers, Kindle in particular, but should have concentrated on the physical Reader.
Perhaps recommending Calibre ?! 
And being a bit more realistic about their pricing policy, too.
However, it's a bit late now - the fact they have, it would seem, left the US to the others is a move which does not bode well for those of us who simply like the Reader ...... wherever we live, 'cos I can't see Sony making enough from the rest of the market, and it is extremely unlikely that they'll be back with a "game-changer".
I'm afraid I think they had their chance, took it .... and then blew it .  |
I tend to think of Sony as a big player. Not necessarily in the ebook market, but a significant company overall.
I am starting to agree with those that think they are abandoning the market. Can't say I blame them if they are not making money in this area.
Disappointing for me, as I consider any Sony reader I have used to be miles ahead. Just my opinion. The only reason I don't have a T3 is I am hoping that they will bundle it with the lighted cover eventually. And I am fine with my T1 and don't hate the Kobo mini. I do hate the Aura HD for a variety of reasons. A bit unbalanced of me I know to detest an inanimate object
