I downloaded a SAMPLE of the book, "Every Man Dies Alone," from BN and it was compatible with both my Sony Desktop Reader and my Sony PRS 900 and PRS 505. It was ePub without DRM.

However, the full epub file for that book was not compatible with Sony.

Thus, I have to read it with my BN PC software.

It would be nice if all the BN, Amazon and Sony books get published with the same DRM ePUb files so we can read them on any eReader.

Right now, I compare prices for titles I want and buy the cheapest. However, if the choice goes to BN or Amazon, I must use their PC readers to actually read the books.

I usually read two books simultaneously and always leave one in Sony format.
