The multiformat books at Fictionwise, downloadable in both these formats and several others, total 17k for both, of course.

Interesting -- thanks, Jack. I have to say that, as a newcomer to this technology, it isn't easy to get a sense of its state. These discussions are extremely helpful, but I keep discovering whole new areas that I didn't realize existed (up until two or three weeks ago, I thought it all began and ended with the Sony device and the Kindle, neither of which are available in Canada).
