Ok, I have read the Newsweek article online, and watched the Kindle video on Amazon. I have also read the Kindle product info on the product page for the Kindle. I have also done some searchs in the Kindle Books section of Amazon. The best thing the kindle has going for it is content. Amazon shows as of right now 91,327 results in the Kindle books section.

But for those of you "early adopters" here are my questions...

1. Does the kindle support any formats other than Kindle books?
2. If yes to one, can you sync from your computer?
3. What format are kindle books actually using? I would love to have all that content on my Sony reader. Damn, we really need a ubiquitious format!
4. I have heard that kindle uses the Sprint network... what if you aren't in range of that... there are alot of areas in the middle of the contry not covered by sprint... can you still download/synch kindle books via your pc or perhaps use your LANs wi-fi?

Thanks,
BOb
