So, based on this report, is it safe to conclude that Sony, not Amazon, is the worldwide leader in e-reader device sales?

With one million Kindles sold and the Kindle at 45% of U.S. marketshare to Sony's 30%, that would put Sony at around 660,000 units in the U.S.

Since the Kindle is not sold outside the U.S. and the Sony readers are, it's reasonable to assume Sony has sold at least 340,000 in the rest of the world.
