Hi everyone,

Obviously, this is my first post. I've been looking at the Sony Reader for some time now and I'm struggling with determining whether it's worth the money or not....more on this later.

Went to the Sony Style store today and they are offering an immediate $25 discount through Feb 14th. Since the $50 connect store discount is no longer available, I thought that this might be useful information for readers of this forum.

Now...back to my struggle here. I'm a former rocket ebook owner, a mac user (although I still have my old pc), and an avid reader. I love this reader, but I'm really concerned about content. I'm not real interested in the Project Gutenberg texts as I prefer more modern fiction. I've browsed the store and it's ok.

Do any of you know how many books are in the store and what Sony's realistic plans are to increase the number of books offered there? If I spend my hard earned money here, I want to be able to get all my books electronically, not just some of them.

Thanks for any suggestions and I hope the news about the $25 discount helps someone.
