Dificulty choosing reader

I am having difficulty choosing a reader. I have enough money saved up for a Kindle 3G but I think I want a Sony PRS-650. I like the various formats that sony will read but I can't figure out if it is worth the extra $40. I want to be able to check books out from my library and download from other sources then Amazon. If I get other books not from Amazon, can I convert them to PDF and read it on the kindle? Can I convert epub books and other formats with Caliber? after DRM is removed. Can I use Caliber with a new kindle?

One thing I read about the Kindle is that Amazon keeps your books on their servers but can pull them when they choose. Is this still true? Can I keep the file on my home computer instead of Amazon's server?

I also seem to see the difference between the two cheap ones is one has 3G access. Can I put an SD card in a kindle? I seem to be able to in a sony.

I also have the option of picking up a PRS-600 on clearance from Target. Those who have one, do you like it? Better then a 650?

Any advice would be helpful, thanks.
