Kindle for PC
Kindle for PC is still Version 1.0 Beta (25338). It has few frills but can read Amazon Kindle books.

Sony's eBook Library is Version 3.0.01.10191 and has many more features.

Barnes & Noble eReader is Version 1.0.1 and has far more features than any of the other 2 PC programs.

My first test of prices for a book called "Body Double" by Tess Geritsen showed the following prices: Sony - $ 7.59; Amazon and B&N - $ 6.39.

Whether I end up buying a B&N Nook or an Amazon Kindle 2 is how the prices in the future end up in new books I purchase. In features B&N Nook seems to be better than Amazon Kindle 2. I already own a Sony PRS 505.
