While I have nowhere near 400 books on my reader, I certainly have more than enough "to be read" for the foreseeable future. Connecting now and then to the computer is not an inconvenience - if nothing else it charges my reader (something I have a tendency to forget to do otherwise) while I use Calibre to download my newspapers.
Let's hope the market never gets taken over by a single "vision" of what an e-reader should be. We all have our particular needs and it's extremely useful to have a choice of which features we want or don't want.
I bought a Sony because it had the features I wanted at a price I thought was reasonable. NOT because it was the cheapest reader and NOT because it had all the latest and greatest whiz bang features. I also didn't particularly buy it to make use of the Sony store, though I have bought a few books from them, including a couple where they offered lower pricing than either Kobo or Amazon.
Cheers,
