What's the highest Serial Nbr on a Sony Reader out there?

In this thread, Nathan mentioned his Serial Nbr was very low. It got me thinking that maybe if they are sequential and without significant gaps or series changes, we might get some idea of how many Readers are out there.

So what's the highest serial nbr out there?

Mine is ######## 0000739, and I ordered mine almost immediately from the online store. There might be a heck of a lot more Readers out there than we have been guessing.

Looking at it another way, we see Current monthly E Ink panel capacity: 60,000. If Sony is using even a fourth of that amount, and assuming they haven't ramped up after the initial release, then that would be 15,000 Sony Readers/month made available. Without even assuming a build up before making them available, that would mean there are proobably more than 30,000 Sony Readers out there (sold and in stores)! All just speculation, but I'm just saying the numbers might be very high, and it would be interesting to see how high the serial numbers go.

Perhaps someone should collect information from this thread and update the wiki?

Note: I'm not volunteering, just suggesting
