I think that the issue is not Sony Vs Amazon but a general public acceptance of EBooks. The large screen helps users feel like they are reading a real newspaper, some people will like that. Color would make it even more attractive and allow magazine subscriptions. Price cuts is mandatory here. As long as we have to spend 400$ or 600$ for a reasonable device to read books and newspaper, it will remain a specialized market and people like you and me will continue to look like we are coming from another planet when we take the bus with our EReader.
Yes we need a Sony >= 9.7 inch, color, cheap, etc... Maybe then we will see services like cell phones, offering monthly fee for subscriptions over wireless networks and a FREE READER on a 3 year plan. Come on, make it accessible to millions of people. I am sure most of the people spend more time reading than talking on the phone.
