I largely agree with this. While I find the software pretty easy to use, it is really just Web Browse Plus... a Web Browser-like interface, plus on-screen book reading. Since I'm primarily using the Reader software on my Mac to check/debug LRFs, I like the software. If I were reading with it, I might not... at all! I would also prefer the option to purchase AND download from a regular old browser.

However, I do believe the page number is courtesy of ADE, not Sony. Their software sucks big time, but that is one thing that is *not* their fault.

Good point... Looks like they slacked off so badly, they actually had someone else do the work for them!
The whole rootkit fiasco (which I believe was the single event which turned the Internet at large against Sony) was actually a 3rd party issue as well.
I appreciate that ePUB is not their fault, though I'm desperate for them to fix it. I actually wait with baited breath on each release to hear if the Readers still support LRF/BBeB because the ePUB support is so bad!
Guess Sony needs more in-house coding.
