Yea, don't really want to fool with removing/altering DRM, though I am not opposed to it entirely. That's why I have been leaning towards the Sony for a while, the lack of connectivity has really thrown a wrench into my situation,though. However, the more I've been researching and reading I don't think that is going to be a big deal. I like to shop around for deals and I know border's (kobo) has deals often, and I use it on my phone as well right now. So with any reader I'd have to side load since it seems the kindle/nook/reader would all be locked to their respective store front for the most part, if I were to get a 950 on the Sony that is. The open format, smaller/light form factor, higher build quality should be more advantageous to me, I think. Just a matter of pulling the trigger I suppose. The Sony software seems pretty slick so far, I can login to my account on kobo click download ePub and it pops right up into the reader app ready to sync. Now I guess the price would be the final factor holding me back.

Though, I guess, with all that being said I could just go with a kobo brand eReader though the price and lack of features seems a bit over the top for me. I do like the idea of having the dictionary available and just select the word, since the likeliness of me saving the word to lookup later is pretty slim.
