I don't think anyone would be complaining if Sony simply updated their reader firmware so that it correctly supported ePub. Replacing a native format with an inferior format (as displayed on their readers) is a bad business decision any way you slice it.

I would love if Sony upgraded the epub support on my 505. I would also love full unicode support without hacking. I don't expect this to happen, though. But if you love the LRF format so much, why don't you convert other formats to LRF with calibre?
Their store is not very competitive either way, the switch to epub did make sense (they can sell to a wider audience), but their pricing doesn't.
