That's a different thread, but what it is frustrating that Sony requires of extra software be installed to buy books from their ebook store. Their book store web site looks virtually identical to book store in the eBook Library software. Previous purchases and the ability to buy new books is all that's missing from their web site.

With so many other devices going to ePub, they could sell a lot more books if their store sold books via the web! The MR Device Wiki page lists 13 different readers that support ePub.

Come on Sony, sell ePub books via your web site to owners of any reader that can handle the format! Amazon can use the competition!
Have you actually been reading MR? If you have, you'd have found out that by the end of the year, Sony is going to be selling ePub instead of LRX.
