Thank you so much for taking the time to share this, Dennis.

I think Sony is throwing significant amounts of money at the Reader market. They've seen Kindle do well, and IMO they know they can do it one better with enough investment. Unlike other forms of entertainment, E-books are a growing industry in hard times -- when it's too expensive to go to a movie, folks stay home and read a book.
