But this suggests that Sony didn't think this through as well as Amazon. If they had, they would have worked out some deal with publishers to get many more ebooks sold for a lower price. Sony is big enough to have gotten such a deal if they were willing to subsidize it, especially since DRM LRF books are locked to the Sony readers anyway. If ebook success has to be predicated on people paying more for an ebook than a hardcover from Amazon, well then....

So far Sony seems to be handling the software end of the deal as well as they handled SACD.
