Actually, I would vastly prefer that Sony and Amazon stay neck and neck - its the only incentive to keep e-book prices at a discount to pulp-and-ink. However, I think the Kindle will win the marathon in the long run - Amazon has an investment in selling books that will keep them supporting the reader technology forever. Sony only has an investment in selling gadgets - when a new gaget is in vogue, the reader may be marginalized.
