At this moment, that is more or less true. However, Sony and Amazon are clearly trying to change that. And while the world of e-books may presently be accurately described as a small, smelly pond, and Sony and Amazon are only slightly invested in the area relative to the rest of their endeavors, Sony and Amazon are both names that get notice from the average Joe. If those two start slugging it out over
anything, even in a gnome-like fashion, people are likely to notice -- if only because they're such un-likely adversaries.
That's what I'm thinking, anyway.
