I'm with Steve. The focus on books is extemely shortsighted. I remember reading somewhere that the majority of reading today among the under-35 demographic is for of online content.

I used the Librie (don't have a Sony Reader yet) mainly to read HTML pages (converted using Toolbar for Librie). I personally have no problem with the scarcity of book content for these readers, since I don't think within the "e-book" paradigm, which seems like a dead end. My interest is strictly in getting online content offline into a "printout" medium for greater portability and readability.
