Sorry, I had to.
FWIW, I haven't had a problem finding content on the ebookstore, and when they don't have it, amazon usually doesn't either. If you are worried about content, I'd start searching for books you want, and see who is better. I buy a lot of paperback fiction books, and I tend to find what I needed cheaper on Sony's website (they usually have a standard 5% off, whereas Kindle will usually sell them full price- but not always).

I guess it just depends on the books you read. I read a lot of new releases but not all. So I went back and checked on my last five paperback books (though some of them were library checkouts and not Amazon purchases) and compared Amazon and Sony prices. Here they are:
The Blessing Way - Tony Hillerman
Sony: $6.64
Amazon: $4.00
Sophie's Choice - William Styron
Sony: $8.09
Amazon: $4.14
Dance Hall of hte Dead - Tony Hillerman
Sony: $6.64
Amazon: $5.59
Housekeeping - Marilynne Robinson
Sony: $12.60
Amazon: $9.99
The Dark is Rising - Susan Cooper
Sony: $5.69
Amazon: $4.79
Of course a couple of those would be available for free for either device through the library. Plus, as I said before, the Sony can take better advantage of the library collection. Still, I don't recall seeing many books that are in paperback and full paperback prices at Amazon. Maybe it was the first day they hit paperback? Sometimes it takes a week or so for the price drop.
