I have a Sony 505 and an Amazon K1... and I rarely, very rarely, buy books from either Sony or Amazon.

Fictionwise, Booksonboard, and Baen are my sources for non-free books (and often they have free books too). Get a .lit copy, ConvertLit, and calibre... problem solved.

I just don't see the source of agony over the prices of Amazon or Sony. It is just not a good idea to buy a book with DRM that is not easily circumvented in any case.
