The prices depend on publishers.
Who is Sony?
Sony is not a book shop.
Who is Amazon?
Amazon is the biggest online shop in the world.
To be fair, Apple wasn't a music shop, either. In fact, Sony has the benefit of actually being a media company as well. (It hasn't always worked in their favor, tho). But, I can see why they are doing things that way, the same why Amazon is doing it as well.

Personally, the Kindle isn't really looking all that attractive. I've never been a fan of the "one stop shop" model. I like having options and competition, especially when it comes to non-tangible items like e-books. The extra features over the Sony don't really have me wanting it.
