I disagree, I think store content is key. When comparing content for the two devices what are most people going to compare (when they compare at all)? They'll compare the number of books available in each device's store. They will see Amazon at +100K over Sony, and that's as far as they'll go.

IMHO, people, excepting knowledgeable folks like we have on these forums, just don't care that Mobipocket and Fictionwise have lots of books too. Also, I don't think either of these stores carries Sony specific format books do they?
