Undoubtedly my problem with the concept is that I don't read best sellers, or fiction in general, and the Sony bookstore doesn't have much of what I like to read to say the least. That's a great avatar by the way! |

In the case of the two books that I mentioned, the Sony price was 40% higher than the Kindle version. The physical books are what I bought and they were each about half a buck cheaper.

Key word being starting here. They aren't going to be fully price-matched overnight.

Well, I guess we're just going to have to agree to disagree. I simply don't see the advantage of an e reader, given my reading preferences.

I think Starka is very curious about having an e-reader and wants to open it up and play with it to be sure it's not something worth keeping. But the quandary is, a better price will be remitted for an un opened package.... I say if the box is open and the e-reader is surveyed by Starka, the device will no longer resemble a device but rather the beautiful gift it was intended to be. It is quite clear that Starka's lady friend has vision of the benifit an e-reader will bestow onto Starka. A view that Starka is trying to peek into without opening the box. |

Just so! I really do want to find it useful, as it is a gift from someone trying to do something nice. However, it's far too much money to spend on a device that might ultimately end up in the back of the closet. |

4nefertiti, could you furnish a couple of links to other booksellers if you have the time? I was looking for a particular book just last night and the Sony site doesn't have it. Thanks! |

you could try www.booksonboard.com, www.kobobooks.com... inkmesh.com is a site that lets you search various sellers for an e-book. If you don't mind me asking, what sort of books do you think you would like to read on an e-book reader (genre, author)? It might help us steer you in the right direction if we had a list of authors that you like, for example, or the subject matter that you are most interested in.
