Sony continues to sell e-ink devices, but to a niche pdf-reading market. They continue to find value in producing e-readers. Why not B&N? I assume B&N sell a lot more e-readers than Sony.

Sony also sells those devices for considerably more than the Nook. As a result they don't need to worry about content sales to bolster their profit margin.
We also don't know if Sony has other deals that are required of the law firms etc who purchase their ereaders. It's hardly a consumer level device at the pricing, and the content it's able to handle.
