This is great. This will be where I base my decision on which e-reader I'll get. How about Sony?
Remember the point is allowing sharing of passages and/or a rating system for sideloaded books, not only books from the e-reader store. This is useful because it gives people a good nice feature and it motivates you to want to use NON DRM books, looking for the better deal, actually forcing the prices to be competitive again.
Everyone benefits. You get to keep your collection maintaining the features of modern e-readers and the authors have a chance at the market without having to side with Amazon, B&N or Sony.
