Sony was screwed in the US when the Kindle entered the scene but seems to be doing ok outside the US.

Are they *still* doing well outside the US though? I think, without keeping a bit more pace on the hardware front, they could become a harder sell as Amazon and Kobo continue to go international with their stores. Too many people like ease and convenience of just buying books on their reader and not sideloading.
I love my Sony readers, and haven't seen anything better suited to *my* needs thus far and I buy books wherever the price is best and they all go on my Sony, whether from Amazon, Kobo, BN or elsewhere, but I know I am not the majority.
