Who really cares??
A little over a year ago when the Reader came out there was no Kindle. The only thing available in the US was the old LCD screen Ebookwise which I had. The summer before the Reader came out I bought a Cybook from Bookeen. Both suffered from battery times measured in hours.
Regardless of which WILL be around in 5 yrs (or two years) I've been using the Sony Reader for 14 months and have read a couple thousand books on it. I don't give a rip about format. Whatever format I got a book in I rip it and
converted it to rtf and loaded it. Now I convert it to LRF and load it.
If no other book readers come out I'll be content with the Sony and continue using it as long as it and my spare one last.
In a year or two years or three years if something significantly better comes out I'll buy a new reader and continue to do the same thing. I'm using mine to read with instead of spending time worrying about what I'll be reading on in 5 yrs.
