I've noticed that Mobileread has a very sizeable (majority?) of users that aren't from the United States, so that may play a big role in why the Kindle isn't doing so well in this poll.

About a third of Mobileread reader's are from the US, according to the recent poll posted here.
And while the PRS-505 is distributed in other countries, this is a quite recent move.
When I purchased my PRS-505 in September 2008, it was at this time still not available in the UK or in France. For most of its life, the PRS-505 was a US (and Canada also I guess?) only device.
The PRS-500 was never available outside of US/Canada either, but despite its age it got a very decent score too, almost to the level of the kindle.
I guess that kindle's owners do not visit Mobileread as much as other device's owners. This is weird as Mobileread is pretty much the more important ebook related website I know along with Teleread
Or that perhaps why Amazon is not releasing their numbers
