That flaw is what is giving me difficulty in just flat out buying the Kindle,

You also have to remember that Amazon.com does have the biggest e-book library available online so when you buy a book chances are you will be able to get it from amazon.

And this is why I had almost snagged me a Kindle without a second thought.

When I went to the Sony store the guy showed me his 650 and sure enough it was covered in finger prints, something I would not want to be looking at when I read books.
Having said all this I also must say that comparing the Sony e-readers to any other e-reader on the market I would choose it over all of them if the Kindle did not exist. Anyway hope this helps.

I never expected it to be easy, and this site has very helpful in figuring out what to do with the files once I have them.

Most people gravitate to a Sony because they want ebooks from the library or they don't care to deal with DRM files.

The reason I didn't go for the kindle right away is I hated the thought of having limited options. The Sony appealed to me because of the number of supported formats.
But reading all of this helpful advice makes me realize that my first choice was a good choice to start with. If this makes any sense, my heart said get the Kindle, then logic inserted itself and said do some research first and ask some questions because the Sony is looking like a good choice too.
Unless someone has reasonable and unbiased reasons as to why I shouldn't buy a Kindle, the Kindle is my choice.
Thank you all for your wonderful and friendly advice.
