I don't expect Sony to 'catch up' any time soon. I choose to buy MS Lit books, strip, then convert them to lrf. I know some people have an issue with this, and the law probably does too, but I have no qualms about it since I'm not distributing it and am only putting it into a form I can use after buying it, or at least the rights to read it.
The way I look at it is, if I bought a pbook and had to tear the pages out one by one in order to read it, it's my book, it's my choice if I need to effectively destroy it to read it. I've bought the rights to read it, and may do so in whatever way I need to. So, if I buy an ebook, I've bought the rights to read it, and can do what I need to, to do so. I don't see any reason to let a format issue stop me after I've paid my money.
And this is a good deal at Fictionwise right now, I'll be getting it this weekend, I think. Thanks for the reccomendation, HarryT! This is one I've been meaning to read, and I probably would've ended up getting a pd version.
