Basically, Kindle doesn't support RTF so I see no need for it.
But so is the Sony Reader. At least the Kindle also reads a common format (Mobipocket). And there is a readily available converter for that format. What did Sony provide for conversion? Bupkiss.

I admit there are reasons not to like the Kindle. But claiming it is more closed than the Sony Reader is not one of them.
