?We are committed to ensuring our customers have the freedom to discover and read content from the widest possible range of sources,? said Chris Smythe, director of the eBook Store from Sony. ?We?re proud to offer access to the broadest range of eBooks today ? from hot new releases, to New York Times Best Sellers, to classics and hard to find manuscripts such as those available for free from Google.?
