work with library ADE? If so, that bodes well for Ectaco's efforts to bring their firmware into full support of B&N DRM formats. While I think this is still the device makers supporting one company's DRM formats, it is an interesting development, and I hope a trend. Luck; Ken |

I am no Apple fanboi, believe me. My point was just that even though there are a multitude of choices for an electronic device, it does not mean that one manufacturer can't corner the market, especially when you tie together device and content so well, like iPods and iTunes or Kindles and the Kindle store.

This has as much to do with international publishers getting on board. I'm starting to suspect that some international publishers are treating Amazon's forays into their markets with a certain amount of reluctance and suspicion, as they fear a loss of control in pricing and timing of releases. I'm sure Amazon would be happy to sell you whatever books you would like, whether the publishers want to do so through Amazon remains to be seen.

And another article on that topic: What Defines an E-Reader? I tend to agree that an E-Ink or similarly readable display is a necessity.

I am mostly glad that I made my decision to get the Sony 900 a week and a half ago - well before all the CES annoucements - otherwise I'd be back to the drawing board with all the research to pick one again.
