60,515 - Mobipocket
36,172 - Microsoft LIT
A few of the titles I'm interested in reading are there... in Mobi format only. There also seems to be a lot of stuff available in Adobe format, hence my interest in having DE available as an option.
In any case, content availability is not a huge issue for me. Like I said in my original post, most of my reading consists of public domain works or stuff I already have access to. I'm sure either device would work fine with these materials.

Fictionwise has the following breakdown....
21,554 - MS Reader
18,712 - Mobipocket
12,105 - Adobe
15,651 - Multiformat (multiple formats with no DRM including LRF)
Simon & Schuster sell their ebooks via their website at a lower cost (usually) and have MS Reader, Adobe, and eReader.
