You don't look like the person who wanted the answer or initiated the thread?
But let me support my arguments.
Kindle, Nook and Sony have basically same decent e-ink display and screen, actually, and based on something I read recently, screen parts come from same manufacturing company so we are not talking about huge differences here.

Kindles do not limit or force users to buy on Amazon stores only, so saying the device will be tied to Amazon is not correct. The limit is imposed by the users when buying DRM protected books. I do have hundreds (and legal) unprotected MOBI books on my new Kindle.

True, but what is the e-library supporting your Device? at least you have B&N and Amazon online store with Nook and Kindle. You will basically have to buy from B&N which again, overall stock and prices are not better than Amazon and books are not DRM protection free.
One of Sony PRS-650 drawbacks is that does not allow you changing line-spacing, margins, font type, not without adding fonts or altering the CSS ebook file and that's an important option(s) when reading pure text only books; you can do that with the Kindle without user intervention or extra hacking.
Also, you paid more than $200 and not even wifi, you kidding me?
