I am a US Kindle/Calibre user, so I speak from my perspective. I have no issue with geographical restrictions, and I can put library books on my kindle, so I have the kindle for the Amazon store. But you can get access to the Amazon store through kindle 4 pc, and I immediately remove drm anyway.
Although I love the Amazon store, I do not think mobi will be the long term format winner. That is why I remove drm - so I can convert books to another format and won't lose those books I have paid for.
I bought the new Kindle because the better resolution was worth $139, and my husband wants my K2. If I were happy with the Sony, and had no need for a kindle to access the Amazon store, I would wait for Sony to come out with the new screen (see News section) and replace my Sony. Or get the Kindle and have access to all!
