Hmm... possibilities...

Mike never actually tried the Sony Reader, the Kindle was the first reader he actually got his hands on;
Mike has an aversion to leather covers on metallic-plastic devices;
Mike tested the PRS-500, and never got used to that page-turn thingy;
Mike hates Sony's clumsy Connect bookstore (actually, I can buy that one easily);
Mike owns a Mac;
Mike owns a Linux;
Mike owns an old Amiga (okay, moving on...);
Mike was in a car accident, and has amnesia (and only one hand to read with now);
Mike's boss "suggested" Mike's tone after
Amazon came to Mike's boss and offered to put his kids through college.

Ah, the list could go on and on...
