I'm new to this forum, but not to the internet. And certainly not to books and e-readers.
I bought my Kindle in November 2010, and really like it. It goes with me everywhere I can possibly take it.
When I was researching e-readers prior to my purchase, I was trying to decide between a Nook and a Kindle. I didn't even know Sony was making an e-reader, that's how little press it must get.
Looks like Sony may have another Betamax on its hands. I did see a Sony reader of some sort gathering dust at Best Buy, while Nooks and Kindles were hard to find in stock. I didn't catch the number, though, what would be the point?
With the few warts it does have, the Kindle is to me a homerun. I can live without ePub format, and even then Calibre converts almost everything you throw at it. DRM is one thing it won't touch from what I understand, but there are so many books out there no one person could possibly read them all in a lifetime.
