Bought a 950, sent back Kindle
I like the 950 much more. Its advantages:
1. Touch. This is crucial.
2. No plastic keyboard -- the whole device is the screen.
3. Markup with stylus.
4. Bigger screen, better pdf support.
5. epub is better than mobi -- no jagged margins for justified text; epub is a widely used standard mobi isn't.
6. Easy look-up by just hitting a word with your finger.
The Kindle does have one advantage I can think of: the ability to hear text spoken. This could be very useful while driving. The reading is remarkably natural. But I wasn't interested in this. Also, the Amazon book store seems to be better than Sony's.
