For our share of market/share of voice, I found this article that highlights some key points for the market share in the US:
U.S. market share: Amazon comes out with nearly 60 percent of the market; Sony (NYSE: SNE), 35 percent; other device makers (Foxit, Interead, IRex) 5 percent.
Consumer awareness: Forty percent of US online consumers still say they’ve heard of but haven’t seen an e-Reader. The percentage of those who haven’t heard of an e-Reader dropped from 37 percent in Q209 to 17 percent in Q309. The hype factor—which doesn’t always equal success - is in hyperdrive: Kindle media mentions so far this have nearly doubled over last year, while Sony’s are up 250 percent.

So since we're planning on having a stall at a trade show, I found a truss stall that we can set up. I'm still waiting for them to email me back about the quote, so we can use the price quote they give us. This is stall that I picked, as it's simple yet effective. I included graphics in the price quote inquiry

This site gives us a whole bunch of options for our tradehow stalls, but none of them include graphics, so this would be the most base models we would go with, and would be the minimum we would pay. I thought this would give us a good idea of pricing though.
