I have a Sony stick for my own books and notes.

I also use calibre instead of the Sony software, which is less than desirable for me to use.

One main reasons I picked up the Sony over the kindle as a friend of mine gave her 12 year old son a kindle and he went nuts purchasing books, she was a little than more shocked when they got a bill of over $200 dollars.

Another is that we prefer the Sony one is that it seems slightly more responsive to the note taking, where she can go ahead and doodle / sketch things in the Notes part of the reader.
And that is why I would deregister the Kindle or use password protection.
