Sony will have to improve if they expect to stay in the game- Pricing,features and access to books in store. Sony might have to drastically reduce reader price to sell against Kindle.If Sony does the deal with Adobe on shared format and DRM so that folks can get book loans through their local library to read on a SONY, that would give them a plus but it could cannibalize book sales.
I believe they will ditch reader sooner or...yet more sooner.
I don't believe anyone has a chance to beat amazon with their content prices and availabilyty of content.
