Stach makes an interesting point, although I will be happy for Sony owners to prove me wrong on this topic:

I like low cost books and free ones so I took a look at some of the classics and the prices associated with them. My guinea pig was Jules Vern's 20,000 leagues under the sea. Sony offered it for $2 and Amazon under cut the price at $0. I saw a lot of low cost books that I liked in my library for low cost, under $7 in Amazon and Sony did not seem to have a great selection under my limit.

Also Amazon offered a reader for $115, I have the Kindle Special Offers, and the best Sony was willing to do was $180 or the pocket edition. Amazon under cut Sony's price so I chose my poison.
