And I'm glad they don't because in the end, it will be me who's paying for those extra programs.
I don't expect Sony to provide the best tools, only the basic ones. Though, given how bad the Connect software is, I suppose I should be glad they did not.

You can get MP3 conversion anywhere because everyone uses it. You can get the image viewer anywhere. The difference here is that Sony decided to limit us to only the two formats, a DRM one that only Sony sells, and another one that they have yet to release the specs for (I think).

Ponder this: Do you really think that the SWEs at Sony didn't already have some variation of the html,txt,rtf to lrf software before the Reader was released? Why couldn't they have put it up on the Connect Store?
