the best thing about a sony reader is you can load up books from many other places. the worst part about sony is you can't load their books anywhere else.
you might want to search around for how to strip your sony files of their DRM. then they'll load up into iBooks just fine. can't discuss the details here. but google is a good friend.

Not to totally disagree with you but Sony has many more proven reliable products then the short list of failures you mentioned. I personally love my Sony Readers and the Sony Walkman was, for all intents and purposes, the first real portable music player. As for Apple, need I remind anyone of the Lisa, Pippin, or Cyberdog? Most large electronic companies have had their fair share of failures. It's the succesful products that intrique me.
