But other people want the whole eBook store integration angle, and fancy software to control it. They're iTunes indoctrinated, you might say, and so that's the model they want to follow with their device control/usage. Not me, so that's why the Sony software issues don't bother me. I care FAR more about what the screen looks like, and how easily accessible the page turning controls are on an ebook reader, than I do anything else.

What Sony doesn't do is play well - or at all - with iPad. In part, that involves exactly what you observe about bookstore integration. But for some reason, Sony isn't really interested in selling ebooks - and by extension ebook readers - to Apple users.
