Sony announced that their eBook store and readers will support the ePub standard format by the end of the year.  This will enable Sony Readers to be able to use content from multiple sources.  As one of my fellow JAMMers commented, I can’t believe that, Sony, King of Proprietary Formats, is actually adopting a standard format.  I agree 100% with that!  It is definitely a step in the right direction.  Plus, for all Sony Reader owners, there will be updates so all can enjoy this broad format.  I think this pushes Sony one step closer to competing with Amazon.

That brings me to another point that would help Sony.  PARTNER WITH BORDERS!!!  A partnership and wireless is all that is holding Sony back.  My new Sony 505 arrived yesterday, and its a great little device.  I am not giving up on this point…
