I'm confused - I already was, as I couldn't find out if Google Bks had "abandoned" Sony readers, despite there being a "Google Books" button on the T1.

But having no joy re: Sony, I went general, and just probed the G. Bks site, poked around a bit, processed to the Harry Potter bit there - to find :-

"Now you're ready to read your favourite Harry Potter books on the web, phone or tablet. "
No mention of readers of any sort.

A bit more digging brought the info :-

"eReaders and other devices :-
To read on e-ink devices like the Sony eReader or Barnes & Noble Nook, you'll need to download a file and transfer it to your device. Please follow the detailed Help center instructions to transfer the files to supported eReaders.
Download ePub".

Has this always been the situation, or have they just decided the ereader market doesn't warrant to many tie-ins etc.. and given up anything more involved ?
A few people have asked me - and not being much of a user of either Google or SonyStore - well, not at all actually - I had to dig, hence my ignorance.
Anyone enlighten me ?
