    Offtopic:
    x50 line of Sony Readers is actually superior to both Nook and Kindle and has quite a number of followers, also in US.
    Product having little market share has more to do with marketing, than actual quality. (I find sony walkman (yep, they also do mp3 player, imagine that) vastly superior to apple/samsung's offerings.)

Kleeneness is next to Godelness.
