And considerably shorter battery life. Even with modem switched off, it is only 1 week vs. 3 weeks of Sony.
It doesn't feel like a book in your hands, it feels just like another new gadget, albeit with superior screen for reading.
All other features it has (such as EDVO, buying books on the fly, wiki, internet) do not belong to ebook reader (at least if you have to pay for it by having keyboard and shorter battery life)- imho.
Although, you are right. It is only me who perceive Kindle this way. There are more than enough people who like it.
P.S. I repeat myself
