That is great. Right now I buy most of my books from Amazon. Both me and my ex-roommate started with Sony PRS-505 and shared an account. I added the Amazon Kindle 10 months later and have stopped buying Sony books not only because of price but because I've learned that I am gadget freak and the Sony format could not be liberated. Both of us were planning on buying the Sony PRS-900 in order to update our PRS-505s but I've been talking to her about keeping our PRS-505s (both are still in fantastic conditions
) and getting another brand (she does not like the Kindle keyboard so Amazon is out). We are still sharing book cost, I buy the book and free it and make a Sony copy for my PRS-505 which I also e-mail to her. We spend an average of $30 a month on books and we split it down the middle. I would love a legal way to share books with her like it use to be when we shared our Sony account. Anyway, I had that Amazon account since 2000 and use it a lot outside of the Kindle and even if she had a Kindle, I would refuse to give her my password. My amazon account is sacred and both of us would have to set a dummy account to share which is too much hassle!
