I have a Sony 650 and use Calibre to download a bunch of newspaper and magazine recipes (52) that I have edited especially for the 650. I just get the text that is it. I can read 5 English Newspapers, 3 Canadian newspapers and 3 Canadian News sites for free every day because of Calibre. I program them to download at 3am every morning and just plug in my Sony when I get up for about 90 seconds and I have all the articles I need and then some.
You can also run Calibre off a USB Drive. I spent Xmas at my sister in laws and just plugged in my usb drive overnight with Calibre running. Got up the next day and within 2 minutes of plugging in my Sony I was all set.
Let me also say that if you only read books then then Kobo will do but if you are a serious newspaper and magazine reader you will appreciate the touch screen.

You do need a case for the Sony. Makes a lot of difference. Mine does not have the light but my wife's does. She loves it.
