Thanks, pwalker8. I've had a similar experience to yours in that I haven't been terribly more disappointed with Sony's selection compared with Amazon's for what I've been looking for. So I've had no reason to reconsider my Sony Reader and think about a Kindle. As to other ebook vendors, I'm thinking there's little point at the moment to tally their available content, too, since I don't think we're going to learn anything new. I may keep an eye on the Fictionwise, though, where today they indicate that they have 50,666 items for sale but then there's the question about how many of those are multiple counts, self-published material, etc.
