Note that a lot of PG books come in mobi format. I don't know about archive.org. btw, if you decide that a Sony is worth the extra cost, you can always return the Kindle.
One of the best features of the Kindle (although perhaps not important to the OP) is the ease of shopping on Amazon (along with the ability to, of course). This is often neglected in device-to-device comparisons, but it has a significant effect on actual usage.
