Don't you think Sony (and Kobo) eReader users realize this? After all, this is not a hypothetical issue for those of us who actually own Sony Readers and use the Kobo Market. What gets old is every thread being hijacked and turned into a "Kindle does it this way" evangelization attempt. Especially when folks are specifically asking about
ePub Readers.
When I was in college there was a kid who was almost immediately given the nick-name "The Prawn" by an Australian student. I wasn't from Australia but I got the gist of what he meant pretty quickly. I remember the first class the "Prawn" and I shared. The teacher says something and asks, "what do you guys think?" Of course the "Prawn" immediately starts answering (he loved the sound of his own voice). Then the teacher asks, "what do you girls think?" And, of course, the "Prawn" immediately starts answering the question.
Which brings us to the title of this thread, which is, "Okay, who still LOVES their Sony?" ...
I don't dislike Kindles -- as a matter of fact most of my eBook business is done through Amazon and the majority of my reading is done on one of my two Kindles. But I do
really get tired of every non-Kindle thread being hijacked into a Kindle vs. Sony, or Kobo, or Nook ... or "whatever" thread. Kobo's Market issues with Sony Reader is one thing ... Kindle's way of doing things is a totally different subject. Some folks are solidly in the ePub format fold, they're not going to move to Kindle just because it comes up in every Kobo/Sony/??? thread on MobileRead.
