I've had my Sony Reader about a month and really like it.

I just don't understand why stuff from the Connect Store is soooo expensive. I did a compare on recent releases, and it seems it's not unusual for the Connect book to cost MORE than the comparable paper book from Amazon. What gives?

I have of course found some other older stuff in the public domain for free, but for recent releases I'm stumped. Do I need to get some other reader that accepts affordable e-books?

Thanks for your thoughts on this.
