Question: Is LRF a better or rather more compatible format for the PRS-505?
Thanks for the heads up on the mobileread library. I have been browsing.
I'm personally jazzed about Barnes and Noble coming on-board with Sony. With the one-two punch from the Sony - Google alliance and now Barnes and Noble, Amazon has got to be worried.
Personally I think that both companies can co-exist quite comfortably but business is business and it's all about choice and right now, Sony has it in spades with world wide distribution of it's hardware and strategic alliances within the publishing community, it's going to be very difficult for Amazon to compete on the same playing field. Has Amazon better hardware, possibly but I would argue the convenience factor of wifi in a reader as I can't think of a book that I need right that very millisecond and I use calibre for all my RSS feeds rather than the lame Sony RSS offerings. Immediacy is not something I'm really looking for in a reader but rather functionality as it pertains to reading - every additional feature offered is a distant second on my priority list in terms of hardware.
Cheers,
Hunter
