I'm afraid the Sony product will now die a slow death like their MP3 players. Now that the profit margins are gone with the Connect store, I expect it will be shuttered in less than a year and Sony will move onto the next great "high-margin" gadget (that is the Sony way).
Get the Kindle or regret it! It's a no-brainer really.

Guess I'll regret it then......not. We have no clue what Sony's profit margins are. Not to mention the deal in the works with Borders and possibly with Adobe. I don't need all the functions of the Kindle. I have a Windows computer and Connect works just great for me....not to mention all of the other sources of ebooks out there that I can tap into with the Sony. I only need an ebook reader and in that I think the 505 is superior in many ways to the Kindle with the only major downfall being no searchable dictionary....I can live with that.
