Voted for Sony and Apple. Was reading on my PRS-350 (plenty of downtime while waiting for testing equipment to finish) when I got summoned by the boss so I switched to the iPhone (usually means waiting for 10 mins or more before he can give me instructions). It's easier to say I was checking email on my phone than it is to explain the e-ink reader.
Heh. I was thinking specifically of this when I made the poll, because I had something very similar happen with my 350 and Android phone.

I chose Sony & Kindle, 'cuz I'm currently reading a novel on my T1 but I looked up a document on the K3 earlier.

Me too. For me, the T1 is the best reader and I wouldn't change a thing.

These are stunning figures, and very much against what I think are the beliefs of most editors and publishers. Not only is Sony way ahead of Kindle, but ePub is far ahead of mobi.

If the proportions stay this way then I suggest that editors and publishers should re-think their assumptions.

We are mostly heavy readers here at MR. The older Sonys and theAztak/Cool Reader lines have library organization features Amazon has never bothered to include. I don't think we are representative of the public as a whole.

WE could be elitist snobs, if we weren't just Nerds and Geeks with our noses in our reading instead of up in the air...
