Amazon's ebooks are usually cheaper and have been that way for a while. I'm not unhappy with Sony's prices though.

You can replace the battery for under $20 and there are alternative places to purchase books. You don't have to stick with the vendor's store.

The Kindle books are infinitely more expensive than the free Sony ebooks I borrow from the local library to read! Not even close.

Too true! In fact, my wife and I were in Brazil earlier this month and, while there, I borrowed an eBook from the Fairfax, VA public library
