Not enough. If they're to replace cash fares (which they effectively
are) they need to be on sale just about everywhere, especially relating
to buses.

Just about every supermarket and corner shop sells mobile phone top-up
vouchers. They should also sell pre-credited Oysters.

I am all for this.

In the end I think it will all just take a bit of time. You can't say
TfL aren't promoting the Oyster card everywhere. They could maybe do a
bit campaign aimed at tourists, though. I have seen tourists who were
completely confused by the card they got when they asked for a weekly
pass, trying to somehow insert the oyster card in the travel card slot.
O, and make them work on all NR services obviously, but it looks like
we're getting there.
