I might suggest that some non-dedicated devices may be “open readers” even more than the Sony (e.g., large-screen smart phones/media players/PDAs), but among devices using e-paper, you’re probably right.

One thing I can almost guarantee: If Sony can show, say, half a million sales of its Reader, it will say so. Loudly and repeatedly. None of this “sales are confidential” stuff…unless they’re so low they’re humiliating.

With amazon, you pay, then you pay more, but onthe sony reader, you pay once, and you can add the rest for free. It’s the only open reader on the market.
