The understatement of the year. Sony are positively anal about DRM and regionality - regardless of the effect on the customer. This is the company, remember, that installed software secretly and illegally on people's PCs to prevent personal copying.
I vowed never to buy another Sony product after I spent $2500 on a Vaio, only to discover that it was hard-wired not to play my US DVDs.
I wouldn't put it past them to come up with something equally unfriendly in the sphere of ebooks in the future.
