Does anybody out there love their ereader?
Well, guess so, according to this blog from Oxford University Press (OUP) USA.
When Amazon launched the Kindle there predictions aplenty about how it and its predecessor -- Sony's Reader would sell.
Over time the chatter died down, but it returned and hit full volume after the recent Book Expo America in Los Angeles, when Mr. Amazon, Jeff Bezos, discussed ebook sales volume at the Kindle store. The chatter, as reported in the NY Times, has publishers and others speculating that Amazon has sold 10,000 - 50,000 Kindles.
However, the OUP blog speculates that combined sales of the Kindle and the Reader will reach 1 million units this year.
Anybody want to dispute that fact?

you may not know it but you cannot use this if you have Visa 64 bit . I did not know this so now I cannot take it with me and my lap top so something will have to go.
i love my ereaders. i own both a sony ereader 500 and an amazon kindle. the only problem is that the sony product is poorly supported. i bought my sony ereader about 18 months ago. the screen has degenerated so that the signal of battery strength is obscured and the pages are crimped and not readable. at the moment it states it is trying to start but nothing happens. it is basically frozen. support from Sony is worthless. they offered to send me a refurbished reader for the price of $266 - while they sell new ones with warranty for $299. This is the second time i had the screen freeze. Sony has its technical department serviced from India and the communication is difficult. I would not recommend anyone purchasing the Sony ereader. The kindle is supported very well by Amazon and also seems to have no technical issues. I do think that all the buttons on the bottom makes it a less desirable physical product compared to the Sony.
