It's all very sad but at the end of the day Sony ereaders, however lovely, were too expensive for what they offered. I bought a RS 650 for around £200/250 I cantle remember the exact price, but then months later Amazon had the Kindle keyboard for £109, for basicly a similar device. That's when I switched to Kindle and I've never gone back to Sony. Whilst I now have a Kobo and a Nook the Kindle is still my main ereader.
Then refusing to provide a lighted screen, that was a death blow. Why would anyone pay as much for a T3 as they could get a Paperwhite or an Aura for. Yes there are people who prefer a non lighted ereader but I doubt they are the majority.
