I don't want to see either 'win out'. I like the fact that we have a choice in the market. I would never have bought the Kindle for myself at the same price I paid for my Sony, and yet on my recommendation I helped someone to purchase a Kindle who had need of its features. I've also helped Sony to sell about 4 or 5 PRS-505's. And introduced a few dozen others to the world of the liseuse.
If it wasn't for conversion problems and poorly designed manufacturer software half of us probably would have never came to MobileRead to begin with.
