In fact, I'd like to call on all Sony Connect users to use their "Email us" Customer Service link to mention price discrepancies between their books and the same book as an Amazon Kindle Edition. Sony should be striving to meet or beat Amazon's prices. Be specific, include ISBN numbers and a link to the Kindle Edition on Amazon.

Example: "I'm interested in purchasing e-book ISBN 1429502533, a book by Stephen Baxter. The Sony price is $17.46. I notice that Amazon has the Kindle Edition of the same book for $7.99. Since this is exactly the same book, from the same publisher, I'm wondering if Sony would consider matching Amazon's price."

Then, when they send you the boilerplate reply, "Please note that when publishers determine the pricing for print books (their “List Price”), they determine a separate List Price for the eBook version which is usually less expensive than the print counterpart (sometimes 40% less). The eBook Store from Sony then provides as much as an additional 20% discount to the customer...", you should keep the support ticket open by replying you weren't talking about e-books vs. printed books, and repeat the question until they actually answer you.
