Amazon lists almost 6,000 titles in their Computers and Internet section for the Kindle. It's unfortunate that I don't know of a way to buy something there for use on a Sony, at least, not without owning a Kindle and then doing a conversion, too. Mobipocket doesn't even list nearly as many titles as Amazon. I still fail to understand that since they're owned by Amazon. And why Sony hasn't pushed harder to catch up with Amazon on titles I really have no idea. Amazon says they now have almost 114,000 titles for sale while Sony hasn't reached 40,000 yet (and only 434 in their Technology section). Sorry I'm not helping, cassidym, just ranting.
