I own one Sony device, and that is one too many. I also used to own Sony Ericsson mobile phone and I do not want another such device from Sony.
The time when anything made by Sony was technically superior to other products of the same class is long gone. Today they just live from their old glory and their products are more expensive and less compatible / standard compliant that competition.
I purchased Sony Reader PRS-500 back when it was the only device with an e-ink screen apart from iliad from iRex. I was hesitating to buy it, because of their Rootkit Fiasco. How can you trust company that is willing to install rootkit and other Bad Things (TM) on your computer in the name of protecting their ... aehm ... Intellectual Property.
There are very few pieces of software that I dislike more than Sony Library Software, which was the only way of how to load books to reader, because they didn't allow USB mass storage driver (you remember me mentioning non compliance with standards). I was extremely happy when Kovid developed LibPRS500 - Calibre predecessor.
