You know what I find weird is that I see people saying you can only read B&N books on Nook. I must have been lucky or something, because I have all of my B&N epubs on my Sony and all of my Sony Store books on my Nook. I have no problem reading all of my books on both devices.
Also, about the library issue, not all libraries have small inferior choices for download. Two of my local libraries belong to big consortiums that could afford a lot of ebooks so they have HUGE selections.
Just my two cents. I'm glad that Kindle owners are happy with their devices.
