Comparing the Amazon bookstore with Sony Connect is not comparing apples with apples -- Amazon's business is book selling, not Kindle selling; Sony's business is Reader selling, not book selling.
The real content question is not Amazon bookstore vs. Sony Connect but rather the number of books available for purchase (or free) to be read on the Kindle vs those available for the Sony regardless of the seller.

rhadin, can you say what sources of content you are considering that is readable on the Sony Readers and not sold by Sony but which is not readable on the Kindle? I personally don't see these as "neck and neck" but maybe there are sources that I'm not aware of.
