It's not real data, I don't think we have that, but only observing the activity in forums here can give you an idea of user base, and in these forums there's a big number of people more informed on eReaders technology than the media in "the real world", so the number of outliers is bigger. Tolino is not selling outside Germany, they have perhaps a bigger user base than Kobo in Germany as they are tied to physical bookstores (although Kobo is selling also in MediaMarkt), but outside Germany there's very few people with a Tolino. Pocketbook is not even selling in physical stores, you have to buy it online, so although they sell internationally, they're not known, people buying a Pocketbook have been reading about eReaders and for some very technical reason don't want a much cheaper and known Kindle.
