Two indications that Sony still doesn't get it.
1. The Memory Stick is dead. Gone. Failed. Note: past tense. Why they still keep adding support for it shows that they aren't looking at the market.
2. Proprietary formats. I can see them supporting their old format (to give their current users an upgrade path) - of course, if they used an open format in the first place, they wouldn't have that issue. But there's no reason they can't support HTML or text as well.
Regardless of the price, this doesn't seem like a good value. I get better value from my Palm as an eBook reader.
