Though I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them take a stab at the Tablet market.

Sony, Samsung et all have been in the Tablet market for a long time. Remember UMPC?
Anyway, the problem is that the Tablet market got redefined by Apple. The goal posts have moved, so Sony and friends aren't scoring any goals at the moment. That's not to say that they are not in the game.
WTR Sony exiting e-reader market - I hope not! I love their gear!
Perhaps they could improve a bit by taking a page out of the Apple's handbook when it comes to compromising on product features. I think that page says "Don't do it"
