Doesn't the Sony reader now support epub.? Even though the format isn't available on the Sony Connect store, you might be able to find more content elsewhere for the device.
Sony's decision to open up the reader to outside formats makes it a winner in my book because it really is about content and not being locked into a format that can only be used on a single device.
But amazon did do a great job in promoting the Kindle. From what I hear, a lot of people of aware of the Kindle but not the Sony Reader. And the ease of use of just going to amazon.com to get lots of content where Sony seems to rely on other e-stores, websites for content.
