But this whole DRM/Kindle store debacle is exactly a reason I went with the Sony reader family.
.. That's really because AAC is part of a lot of low-bandwidth mpeg4 implementations. Hasn't really got anything to do with format superiority, as the quality is not noticeably different between mp3 and aac.
