But, I'm not sure why you don't consider the Kindle. It is the easiest to add books to for a non-techie it also adds a dictionary and search which the Sony doesn't have. As a bonuse Amazon keeps all your purchased eBooks online and you can redownload them as needed. Basically you never need to connect your Kindle to a PC at all unless you want to put some non-Amazon sourced books via USB.

The original poster has not stated which country he is in. A Kindle is really only a practical proposition for the minority who live in the USA; people living elsewhere can neither (easily) buy one nor (practically) buy books for it from Amazon. I agree that for people who do live in the US, the Kindle is certainly very worthy of consideration.
