When did I ever say that adding to a cart was difficult?

Other stores don't make me do that, Sony does. Bleh. |
You are absolutely correct in that the Sony reader Library software is terrible. Even the Sony website is pretty bad and takes forever to load. i think a lot of us would like to see it greatly improved and at the very least brought up to Windows standards! But with Sony at the bottom of the heap, don't expect any remakes of the software nor of the Reader's firmware. I read an article that said sony has 4% of the reader market, B&N has 5%, Amazon has 48%, and the rest is split among all the other companies. Of course they included the iPad with about 30% even though it is not a dedicated eBook reader. But the fact is that Sony has the smallest slice of the market for the three big companies--Amazon, B&N, and Sony.
