No matter how popular other readers are, Vizplex production has been selling out. There can't be any actual test of market popularity until there's sufficient production of epaper such that there's excess capacity - at which point the question of relative popularity DOES come into play.
This is quite different from the effect on book sales, of course. And given your attitude, if you want details in future my rates are quite reasonable, PM me for them.

given my attitude?? huh? i'm just looking for facts, something you can prove to me, and you still haven't!
NOW you're saying that eReaders are selling out. the only eReader i'm aware of that is actively "selling out" is the Nook and i don't think anyone would argue that that's not because its brand new. amazon always has the kindle in stock and i don't see any issues with places running out of stock in any sony eReaders either. so how exactly are these things selling out if they're always in stock?
if something is selling out, to me, that means that people are having trouble acquiring them and frequently see them as "out of stock" in retail spaces and online. is that happening with anything other than the nook (or for that matter, any other device that JUST launched)? i don't think it is unless someone can correct me, at least not in the US.
so i'm still trying to figure out how you can assume that pda's and smartphone have had no effect on the sales of eReaders.
