The Amazon pricing is a bit better for new books - I got Jim Butcher's Small Favors for $9.95 and it's $23.95 on the Mobi store and $16.96 on the Sony book store.

On the other hand, most of my reading in not "just released" - I also just got all three Naomi Novik "dragon" books - they were $5.59 each on Amazon, $6.69 each on Sony and $6.99 on the Mobi store.

And Sony lost my vote over the extremely poor customer service and technical service on my laptop. It's probably a separate division, but still, I was really annoyed with them.
