I'm not sure that I agree, Hadrien. Sony is a known name, and there are "Sony Centre" shops throughout Europe where people are likely to buy a Reader through seeing it on display. Bookeen have never sold "retail" and I don't think that's likely to change with the new CyBook. A product which is only available on the web and is made by a company that 99.99% of the public have never heard of is certainly not going to take away many sales from a big brand name like Sony (IMHO, of course).
