Color me confused.
The problem is that you have to set up and go through the Sony software to read books on the Sony, whereas you can load directly onto Pocketbook 360. I couldn't uninstall it according to their instructions (on an iMac) and there is just no reason for all that. You still have to use Adobe for DRM books from the library, and that's enough. The fewer steps between your device and the content, the better. The Kindle seems to be the best quality for the price, but as everyone knows the sticking point is that you can't use the public libraries with the Kindle (not legally at least). I wish they'd fix that. In fact, why don't they (Amazon) take the bull by the horns and set up a LENDING program? Ok, they would probably charge for it, but that might be the solution to the huge problem of the exorbitant unjustifiable prices of ebooks. I bet they're considering it, because it's a good idea.
