I too am very surprised that Sony has such a high percentage of the US market. In the past year or so the Kindle has received a great deal of free publicity in the newspapers I have seen, and I would say 100% of the references to eBooks.

And what I have read suggested that what we here know as "eInk" is unique to the Kindle. There was never a mention that Amazon's competitors also have that feature.
