Yes, it seems totally insane to me that a publisher would make an electronic book available to one store and not another. I can understand maybe making a large chunk of newly converted material available to the store that requested them, and then distributing after some exclusive period has elapsed. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that the bulk of Amazon's 60,000+ additional books make it to Sony, Mobi and eReader.
That said, I was browsing the New York Times
list of 100 notable books of 2007 and then looking for the books that sounded interesting on Connect and I found all of them. That said, I think only about 5 sounded interesting to me.
I do feel like I have better luck with Connect than I ever did with eReader, but it might be that their selection skews one way while my taste skews another.
