Was hoping for this.
Was really disappointed when Borders announced the ebook store in partnership with Sony. That created a lot of hype at the time since a lot of people believed the ebook catalogue would increase dramatically with Borders behind it. That didn't pan out since the Borders-Sony ebook store just redirected users to the Sony ebook store.
Better late than never I guess and I'm glad they are focusing on selling ebooks instead of coming up with their own reader. Wished Amazon and B&N went this route.... selling ebooks instead of creating their own devices and thus introducing more types of DRM's and formats. Borders in my opinion should concentrate on selling books/ebooks at competitive prices and leave the hardware to someone else!
I own a Sony reader and would love to buy from Amazon and B&N but don't want to mess with stripping DRM's and format shifting. Always happy to hear of new places where I can choose to buy ebooks!
