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.
Here's mine:
To Sin with a Stranger- Kathryn Caskie
Sony: $6.64
Amazon: $6.99

To Seduce a Sinner- Elizabeth Hoyt (man I'm reading a lot of books with "Sin" in the title, ha ha)
Sony: $6.64
Amazon: $5.59

Matter of Scandal - Suzanne Enoch
Sony: $5.69
Amazon: $4.79

Well that didn't prove my point very well, heh.
