For some reason I can't get annoyed at either Sony or Amazon, but I can see being annoyed at the vendor/provider who doesn't offer books in both formats.

Amazon
is a vendor/provider who doesn't offer books in both formats. You may now be annoyed.

I suppose if the publishers ever get with it, they should be dictating whichever format is easiest (or most robust) for their epublishing needs. Isn't this how the Bluray/HD-DVD war was fought, with movie studios deciding which format to release in?

Which is pretty much the worst case scenario with one group of publishers supporting one format exclusively and another group supporting another, exclusively, and readers get screwed as many of the books they want appear on the "wrong" platform for them. Until someone wins, in which case a whole bunch of readers lose big as their device becomes useless for anything but re-reading the books they bought in the losing format.
In other words, it's a mess. And I obviously shouldn't post before my first cup of coffee in the morning. What a cranky old poop!
