I don't make any royalties off Sony sales either, however, it's like comparing a Mercedes with a Honda Civic. There simply isn't any comparison. Better screen (Pearl vs Vizplex...and there IS a difference), a TOUCH screen (swipe to turn the page, and drag to highlight passages), MUCH, MUCH, MUCH faster page turns (most anyone who plays with both at the same time will be drawn to the Sony over the PB360 on this point alone) makes this a pretty unfair comparison. And, when you throw in the fact that you can now get the Sony for LESS than the PB (in spite of the significantly higher end hardware), it's simply a silly argument.

The external memory will not be a factor for most people, given the fact that you can store thousands of books on the internal memory of the Sony. And, since most of us use Calibre anyway, and converting to Epub is as easy as pressing a button, the "variety of formats" is also a non issue.
