That's the advantage of Google Books: they can digitize more books faster, and they have a bigger library. Project Gutenberg---which is where Manybooks gets most of its books---has better, cleaner copies; Google has more books. Try Manybooks first, and this Sony/Google thing only if necessary.

And iPhone/iPod users: Stanza is very easy to use, even if that how-to seems daunting: Download the Stanza application, pick your book file, select Open With ->Stanza, then while it's open on your computer you can upload the file to your device via the Shared Books section of the Stanza app. Easy as pie.
