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.

He said Niche market. I guess noone thinks the film and television industry is niche.
