I wanted to get Jack Cafferty's "It's Getting Ugly Out There...", which is available for Kindle on Amazon, but I could not find it in the Sony store. I contacted the publisher, Wiley, and a rep said that Wiley does not support the Reader, company wide: "Unfortunately, we do not offer any ebooks for the Sony Reader. This is the same across all our brands and titles.
To our knowledge there are no immediate plans to offer ebooks for the Sony Reader." I find this incredible. Does anyone have any insight into why a major publisher would offer books in Kindle format, but not Sony Reader? Is there a way to put pressure on them in this regard?
