Sony were failing, Amazon were succeeding.
Amazon is seriously fragmenting the market. We need a single eBook standard with no DRM but if we have to have DRM, then it should all be the same DRM. ePub is that format and adept is that DRM.

It wasn't that Sony was failing. It was that Sony realized that using LRX wasn't a good idea. Amazon just doesn't realize hat ePub is better then Mobipocket.
