Sony store was my #1 place of purchase the 1st 9 months that I owned my reader; even though I learned how to buy books in Lit format and use Calibre to make an LRF book after Convertlit, I continued to mainly buy from Sony because of the price and convenience. In October I added a 2nd reader, kindle 1, and learn how to purchase Mobi books also; now I only buy from Amazon, Books on Board, and CyberRead. I buy, Mobi or Lit. I will never go back to buying from the Sony store until the stupid DRM they use can be broken. Now I have 2 reader, I realize, how short sighted I was to buy a proprietary format. I still love my PRS-505 and have replaced the Kindle 1 with a Kindle 2. The last time I purchased a book from Sony was the beginning of October 2008, before that, I must have bought over 300 books from them.
