Sony Readers offer the most open platform available
[QUOTE=Bremen Cole;1018616]Sony is a dying in the ebook industry. Amazon has readers for PC/Mac/Android/iDevices ...etc and has had for quite a while. Sony is stuck in a "buy our hardware" and we try to lock you in our books biz model.
I disagree. Sony Readers offer the most open platform I know of. Sony reads BBeB Book (LRF), PDF, TXT, RTF, and ePub. Sony added .epub support via upgrades to earlier models. And Sony supports MS Word .doc files as well if you use htier software and have MS Word on the same computer. Most of the other reader suppliers are trying to emulate the Apple model - buy their device, then keep buying content.
We should be thanking Sony and criticizing everyone else for NOT being open - like, why does Kindle not support .epub?
