I mostly read project gutenberg and other free/low price stuff. Don't really want or need wifi capable, just something I can load books into. I'm attracted by the SD-card ability of the old Kindle, but the Sony looks nicer and is cheaper, if smaller. I'm reading ebook on an Axim 50 now, so either would be an increase in size.

Any suggestions? I'm new to this.
For 139 you can get last generation Kindle 3.

-Pearl screen
-PDF built-in support
-Landscape mode
-Ability to enlarge embedded images
-Read me features
-Wifi
-8oz only

Plus Amazon's A+ customer service and great online store! I would take a look on that one, instead...
