On the subject of spending, don't forget to take some time to compare prices on the ebooks you are actually likely to buy.
When I priced up a list of things I was interested in I very quickly found that the Kindle would pay for itself in savings, and not just on current best-sellers.
On the subject of being tied, I have to say that I would sooner be tied to Amazon, whose service I have always found superb, than to company like Sony, who have a track record of abusing their customers over DRM-related issues. They may produce good hardware but they are anal over copyright, as I found to my cost when I spent $2000 dollars on a laptop which turned out to be hardwired not to play my [legally purchased] Region 1 DVDs here in the UK.
