Let’s say that I’ve got a pretty well informed guess concerning sales in the UK and France…
Keep in mind that the PRS-505 was launched in the UK in September and in France in November.

David, until maybe 6 months ago, the Sony Reader was only sold in the United States, which is likely the basis for Hadrien’s guesstimate.

Hi, Hadrien—many thanks for the info. Got a source re the 90 percent, or is it a very well informed guess? If the facts are right, that suggests that Sony is closer to the Kindle in sales count than many people would think. Happy holidays. David

Barely global David. Expect at least 90% of these 300k devices sold in the US.
