I think this is where it's kinda summed up for me. I don't need all the added features, a dedicated reader is enough. BUT, at the same time, I really was hoping to be able have the wifi connection. The main problem with Kindle for me however (beyond the cost) is my concern that they've released this product, have a big campaign, and next thing you know, they no longer support it because it's not selling like they thought, or in six months they let out a new one. I think these are concerns with the Sony reader as well, but Sony is (as an electronics c ompany) far more likely to continue support for their product far more than Amazon. The plus side to the Kindle, is that a website selling books, it is to their benefit to support the product that helps you read the books.
But stupid question, if I get the Kindle or the Sony reader, I'm assuming that you don't HAVE to download only from them for your books, but can get books anyplace as long as your reader supports that format. is that correct?
