I think that's a pretty hard sell.

Of course, if Sony's new readers are much less expensive than their current models, this won't be an issue...I think a lot more people would be tempted if they could get a new sony + the complete HP oeuvre for, say, $200.
I don't care about the books at all (not a HP fan), but a top of the line Sony pre-loaded with something like 7 tome sized books for $200 catches my attention.
