I dont really need wifi as I anyway already have enough books to read, several thousand still to go! Also the wikipedia and webbrowser is cool but I anway always have my phone with me for that and would rather have the better reader. The price actually, at least here isn't even much different for students between kindle 3g and sony 650.
Before you send the Kindle back, you may want to consider some of it's virtues. It's much better at note-taking and copying text than a Sony, and the Keyboard is right there below the screen -- you don't have to cycle through menus to call it up. True, you can make hand-written notes on the Sony, but the the Sonys have an annoying habit of truncating the typewritten text you copy when you go to upload it to a computer, and the Reader computer software can be a pain to deal with. Because of this, I use my Kindles for everything except PDF documents. I suggest you keep the Kindle and buy a Sony for it's better handling of Adobe documents.
