The Sony library software does the store very well and loads BBeB ebooks from other sources easily as well.

On the other hand, I hate to try to read a Sony book on my computer screen. eReader is a great rendering program for reading on the computer. I wish Sony Library was more like that, and I wish Sony or someone would permit me to format books into BBeB format from Word or WordPerfect while preserving the formatting.

I use it because it is simple and it gets part of the job done.
You just brought up something I was wondering about. My ebookstore also shows "At Borders" since I did buy my unit from them. I wonder if Borders gets any kickbacks for that stuff.
