I read with a sony prs 300 and this week after seeing the new kindle at best buy, I had to have one. They sold out at best buy in 4 hrs so I ordered one from amazon and it is to arrive this week. I would like to pre purchase a few books but I am not sure about syncing with the kindle. I installed the kindle for mac software on my mac thinking it would be like the sony and I would have to buy through the software and wirelessly sync with the kindle. After reading I believe the kindle will access the amazon store directly. The amazon store has pre registered the kindle so when I go to buy a book it gives me the option to dl to my computer or to my kindle , which I do not have yet. Somewhat confused at this point. Any help will be greatly appreciated. What is whispersync btw?
