Exactly. If they were serious about trying to make money off of ebook sales, they would lover their prices at least down to market average, instead of the much higher rates they're charging right now. Kobo's books are a lot more reasonably priced, and work on the Sony reader, so there's absolutely no reason for me to buy my ebooks from Sony.
I have a Sony PRS-950 because of the feature set and the large number of supported formats, because I wanted a reader that allows me to get my books from multiple online sources, DRM-free and/or indie. Not because of the Sony bookstore since, frankly, it sucks.
