I finally went ahead and purchased the Sony PRS 505 SC. The main factors I chose this one over the Kindle were as follows:

1. It has a PC reader, eBook Library. Thus, I can do my main reading on my PC as before and just SUPPLEMENT it with the Reader when I am wating for my wife in stores, at Bible Study or babysitting with my grandkids.

2. It has much better controls on the Reader than the Kindle.

3. It is second generation - Kindle is first generation with plenty of bugs.

4. It has 8 shades of grey versus 4 shades for the Kindle.

5. It does NOT allow purchase over the Sprint network. Kindle is too dangerous because, if lost, anyone can purchse books galore without any protection for the legal owner.

6. Connect just slashed prices 20% to 40% to bring them in line with Amazon's prices for the Kindle book files.
