Uh, I find it funny you say this as I've been checking out ebooks for the last couple of years with my Sony. Amazon is the newbie on the block, I still want epub to be the standard but certainly this slaps that eventuality in the face and extends Amazons single-vendor format and DRM.

It's definitely a coup by Amazon to pull this off -- particularly in this way such that they are still the gatekeeper while offering checkouts from 'your' local library.

I'm glad to see the expansion of ebooks in general, but I really am sick of the format wars, DRM, and walled gardens!
