Smart move, financially. Why continue to spend R&D and manufacturing dollars to be the 4th or 5th player in a niche market? Amazon, Kobo, and B&N all have more popular e-readers and online bookstores. It was a lose-lose situation of Sony and it just made sense to ditch it. I'm sure the upkeep of the e-reader store and license fees for the content were pretty hefty investments.

I'd rather Sony stick to the markets where they have a shot a competing.

So you also think they should leave the film and television industry. Ouch.

Movie division isn't doing bad. 007 was pretty big and this year they will have Spider-man. The only problem is that this division is more seasonal, it makes money only when the blockbusters hit.

i hope the new spiderman bombs hard, the first was so bad and its just a moneygrab, to make a remake after 10 years...
