Sony's new Reader lineup assaults Amazon biz plan
Sony released a 7-inch, $399, touchscreen, 3G and Wi-Fi e-book reader this morning, and it's never more obvious that Amazon is up against a wall in the market segment it helped create.With this morning's announcement, Sony is attacking Amazon on all fronts: a $199 Reader that undercuts the cheapest Kindle by $100, a more fully-featured touchscreen model at $299, and a $399 Wi-Fi, 3G touchscreen model that is smaller than the Kindle DX but two inches but also cheaper by $90.
