good responses all.

To an earlier question, Do i really need more content?

If that is the case do we need any more books to be written?

I'll admit my justification for spending 350 dollars was that i'd immediately own pretty much any public domain book availible on the internet. And i'll say its been awesome. And the reader is so nice that i want to make it my primary way of reading books. I can now read books without the physical waste of paper.

But content is still an issue. yes, i still need to go through all of the sherlock holmes stories. I need to finish heroditus' histories. I need to get around to reading the antichrist.

But if i want to read the first book in the dune series? another classic? i have to go get it on paper before i can read the rest of the dune books which are availible on the connect store.

None of the arthur c clark i wanted is availible either, i was hoping to read songs of distant earth again. yes theres a lot i could read. amazing stuff. stuff thats better than some of the junk food fiction i want to read (any modern fiction author can be seen as junk food next to the classics.) but if i'm not in the mood for those things, and have to read them because what i want at the moment isn't availible, i see that as settling.

I don't really see it as too nit picky because one or two books i want to read are absent from the sony store, as much as its hard for me to find anythinig i want to read there.

I did get a response, by the way. It was just a reiteration of what was listed in the FAQ, even though what i asked for was an elaboration. Sony employee skim email. Sony employee push button.
