I was referncing Sony. When the Nook came out Sony has an inferior site with higher prices. I think it is safe to say That Sony's bookstore is still inferior, I have no idea about the prices. Kobo wasn't even around at the time.

And while BN is closing the gap, Amazon is still the better bookstore. Which is why some Nook Color users are rooting their Nook Colors and downloading the Kindle for Android app and buying some of their books from Amazon.
If I owned a kindle and a nook color I too would root it so I could download the Kindle App, that is where your library is.
I'm surprised more aren't going this route, You can now have both bookstores, ePub support, library lending all without losing your Kindle Library and still the ability to shop at Amazon.

I think if you own a kindle device, owning something like a nook color (rooted) is nice marriage.
