Sony lacks an app for Apple. Dunno about Pocketbook, but even if it has one, the ease of use for Amazon store is the trump card.

The only problem I'm having right now is all these rumors about a 7 inch iPad. If there were verification of those rumors, and a timeframe I could consider, it might be a hard choice...
But do you know of the major flaw in whispersync? If you and someone else are reading the same book at the same time, then you have all kinds of mess going on. Say you and I are reading the same book on two devices authorized to the same account. I read some first. You go in and pen the book, you'll start where I left off. You then go to the beginning and read. I go to read and I'm now where you left off. Whispersync is all or nothing.
