Thanks for the review. I noticed you said that the screen is whiter on the Sony product. It isn't, actually. It's the same screen. This is why I'm really not a fan of the white case on the Kindle. It throws so much light back at you, it lessens the contrast of the screen. It looks more grey on the Kindle. I notice the same thing looking at a silver Sony 505 versus the navy model. That's why I have a skin on mine. It's a shame because I prefer the feel of the Kindle case material and I'd rather not have the gloss or the pattern on the skin. However I do appreciate having all that white covered up.
