Agreed. Apple's bookstore suffers from DRM, higher prices (not always, but more often than not), poorer selection and a crummy UI.

Apple could be King Kong in this market, I'm willing to give them time to learn and to grow. But for now, Sony and Amazon are my favorite stores - good selection (both), good UI (Amazon), decent pricing (both) and easily scrubbed and converted files (both).
