I am curious what the members of this Forum think. Will the Kindle have a positive or negative effect on:

The ebook market as a whole?

The sales of rival ebook readers, in particular the Sony Reader?

If Amazon were to allow it, do you think Sony would adopt Amazon's DRM ebook format? Would the pending Borders / Sony agreement bar Sony from attempting to add compatibility with Amazon's store?
