I have just pre-ordered the Kindle 3 wifi, but just as I did, outcomes the PRS 650. Can anyone help me out with their thoughts about which one I should buy?

1. The Sony is $90 more expensive.
2. The Sony has a touch screen, but is that any better than the Kindle Nav Button? What would you really use it for?
3. Is it really a problem to be locked into the Amazon store. (I only have a couple of Kindle books at the moment.)
4. Sideloading books is not a problem to me, so I do not mind the Sony's lack of wifi.
5. Can I use the Borders store instead of the Sony store to buy books?
6. Is note taking better on the Sony than the Kindle.

any advice gratefully received.

Hal.
