It is clear that there is a new war, and although some have spent most victimless mortals except the HD DVD, now the new war is based on the e-book readers and the content of these readers, the same eBooks.

Now Sony wants to try to reach the level of your Amazon store and its Amazon Kindle books in some way. What happened to them is that all readers of eBooks through Sony are able to shop online for free access to all books that have collected on Google Books.

An estimated 600,000 books will be available from the catalog of digitized books in Google Books, which is not a bad number considering, that there are completely free. To read these books just have to go to the Sony store and find titles, everything is managed through this system.
