The Complete Official List of 2010 eBook Readers

Investors fund companies that tell manufacturers their designs who then make eBook Readers for multiple countries... Somewhere the eBook Readers got renamed, rebadged and reinvented. Let's try to make sense of this mess. Please comment at the bottom if you know more about this quagmire (difficult situation)... so read and then write to me in the comments if you got knowledge to add. Thanx -eBookie
