Sounds overly optimistic to me. I can see a lot of people reading Kindle books on a variety of devices, but 4% of the US population....?

Wow, feeling negative lately I see

Unfortunately, Amazon is not releasing sales numbers, and in reaction Sony is no longer releasing numbers as well. So we really don't know how well they are doing.

Besides, the e-book market is still growing, and this is not necessarily a zero-sum game. A sale for Sony is not necessarily a loss for Amazon, or vice versa, as a sale can also be an expansion of the e-book market overall.
