Just saw the statement given
by Sony to Good e-Reader today.
I'm not really surprised. This was a long time coming. But I do feel sort of sad about it. The Sony e-readers were the first ones that really caused me some serious coveting. I ended up getting Kobo readers first but did eventually get a Sony. It was awesome, but I never liked their store. It just didn't compete effectively with the alternatives. Felt good in the hand though.
These days I'm using the Kindle which I feel is superior to anything Sony ever really offered. But I still remain nostalgic for the Sonys.
