I find that there are books I can't even find in ebook format,so I am still used to comparing prices from mutliple places (amazon,borders,B&N etc).I still do the same when there is something in ebook format,I also consider how likely am I to want to keep this book,or lend it out.
Very valid points about the buying power of Sony,relative to B&N and Amazon,there really is no comparison.But...as more readers are released,should be interesting to see how that impacts pricing.
And agreed about Overdrive.A friend recently asked me how I liked my "Kindle",I had to point out to her that I don't own a Kindle....and I told her one of the major reasons I did end up getting a Sony is because of the ease of borrowing from the library-she pointed out that she doesn't live in NYC,and doesn't have access...and I told her to look into the Overdrive libraries...and also suggested that she make a list of what she would ideally like to be reading,on any device-and compare prices between Sony/Amazon/B&N-as well as suggesting she consider looking into the nook too.
There are some books,that I think almost no matter the price,I'd still prefer in ebook format-right now I am trying to work my way through one...it is heavier than my netbook even-which means it may take me months to read....I would've paid list price for it as an ebook LOL just to save myself carrying it around the house,let alone out of it !!!!
