To be honest, I think the ability to play MP3 files was rather an "afterthought" that some marketing wizard told Sony that the Reader had to have. It has many problems (eg, there's no "stop" - just a "pause" - and it's very easy to inadvertantly leave it playing and drain the battery flat).
Personally, I use the Reader for reading, and my iPod for music and audio books. Each is the perfect tool for the job. I know I can play MP3 files on my Reader and read eBooks on my iPod, but that's not what either was really designed for.
