I like the aesthetics of the sony over the kindle as well, but amazon's store is vast. I can get more Robert Silverberg books than I would ever see in print form. That and sticky-notes, wikipedia, and dictionary features assist the reading experience.

Lets face it, books are hard to improve upon. These ebook readers will have to do something they are good at (like a built-in dictionary). In this respect, the kindle is a clear level above the existing play field with the Iliad (pen interaction) in second (IMHO).
