I don't understand this way of thinking, why is it so important to have a clear winner...I don't think its Sony vs Kindle anymore. There are so many readers entering the market. I seriously doubt Kindle is gonna own this market in the long run, Sony either.

And, launching only a touch screen model, with known issues in decreased contrast/readability, won't challenge the DX screen.
Plus, the late arrival at Xmas misses the text book market.
The DX is far from perfect, but the Sony Daily Reader seems to be a hurried attempt to get something/anything on the market before year end to keep their foot in the door.
