I went back and looked. Apparently Sony worked out an agreement with Borders. Borders actually operates the Sony store. That makes sense: Sony makes hardware, Borders sells books.

I also took another look at the [latest] release of the Sony Library and discovered that it has improved since I last used it to do anything more than download-and-upload books. I need to correct my criticism of the software in my earlier post. I think the current release is very good. The Sony Library now has a button that puts it in "Full Screen" mode, which presents two pages of the book with a choice of font sizes. The book is easy to read, especially on a laptop, and it now supports note taking (although I couldn't find how you print the notes). It's really a pretty good rendering tool for reading on the PC.
