The Sony Reader is “selling very well” — according to Sony

Just the other day, we learned that the Kindle is selling well. Of course, Amazon made this announcement without releasing any firm sales numbers. And now, in a similar vague manner we also learn a little bit about the Sony Reader. The information regarding Sony comes courtesy of an interview from Tech-On.

According to Fujio Noguchi, who is the Deputy President of Sony’s e-book division, the Sony Reader series is “selling very well.” He also went on to state that the Reader has become “the best seller for the Sony Style, our (online) outlet store in the US.”

Other tidbits of information include that the Reader Touch Edition is the current best selling device out of the Reader lineup and that Sony is “considering making color e-book readers” however the electronic paper quality is not currently up to Sony standards.

I guess those holding out for a color-screen Sony Reader will have a while longer to wait.
