I know that I have been pretty vocal about the lack of Mac or Linux support lately as have others here at MR. I was really looking forward to this announcement thinking that they would add some form of wireless or update the software to support Macs. So on Sony's big day, after 2 years of enjoyable reading on a PRS-500 but jumping through hoops to load books from the Sony ebook store I have ordered a Kindle.

I know that for many of you the Sony reader line is perfect and I respect that. I have enjoyed mine immensely. But with this announcement they have missed the boat, or at least my boat.

I'll check out what they have to offer in the future but for now I am going to the other camp. See ya Sony!
