Device: yup!
Well, even if there are a lot of small companies jumping the bandwagon right now, the customer still will benefit from the current market development.

1.) The more competition, the sooner prices will fall
2.) The more companies buy from some large manufacturers, the cheaper a single unit gets; consequence, see 1.)
3.) The software will distinguish the devices. Stability, updates, functionality, features. As long as the technology itself doesn't show that much of a rapid improvement (and it won't), I'll stick to the company which offers the best firmware.

But at least I'm able to decide.

Back to the current discussion: I also somehow get the impression the MR is in favor of news from Amazon or Sony. So what? Those are the big two companies right now. It's only natural that there is more interest in news about them than in any small company.

I'm not interested in Kindle news, so I don't read them. I'm not that much interestet in Sony, so I just flip through those news. Those are the forums at MR I usually don't visit either. It's quite a large board right now, with space and room for any device and any preference.
