Hey, nekokami, nice idea!
There is one detail error I'd like to point out for you, though. You said:

This just isn't correct. See the
Wiki for full details, but the Sony Reader basically natively (i.e. without conversion) handles all of the file types that the iLiad claims it will (some of them I believe it doesn't actually support --
yet that is),
plus their own BBeB file type.
As I'm typing this, it occurs to me that you may rather have meant that the only DRM type that Sony supports is their own, as opposed to also supporting eReader, MobiPocet, etc. If that's what you meant, I should probably point out that iLiad doesn't presently support
any DRM types, and we don't really know what Amazon's Kindle will do, though it does look like it'll support a number of different DRM's.
Here's the whole list of what the Reader supports:
* TXT
* RTF
* PDF (Unencrypted)
* BBeB (Encrypted and Unencrypted)
* JPEG
* GIF
* BMP
* PNG
* MP3 (Unencrypted)
* AAC (Unencrypted)
Just wanted to make sure you should knew that, my apologies if you already did.
