As soon as I got the news, I rushed over to the Sony store and bought most of the stuff on my wish list. That included several Heinlein books published by Baen, since Kobo doesn't carry those and Sony offers about a 12% discount over the Baen site itself. I'll make sure to drop back by at the end of this month when three more must-have/non-promo books drop...
