Just a few random comments:

First I agree with the point that Sony has completely lost the war in the UK, I see lots of kindles but no sony devices, so in terms of a competitive future, there isn't one current here.

I owned a PRS600 and loved it but after I bought a K3 for my other half's birthday and played with it for a bit I sold it and got myself a K3 as well. I did look at the PRS650 but it was a £140 more, I simply don't care about build quality that much! Moreover, I love the fact that my newspaper just appears in the morning and that I can get a new book whereever I am. The only time I use the Kindle cable is when I charge it.

I prefer the software and feel of the sonys but for me it's just not enough to overcome the kindle ecosystem around the kindle and the difference in the price. Moreover, I'm using the email service a lot more than I expected and am constantly forwarding onto my kindle documents I want to read "click click" it's all done, no searching in a box for a usb cable.
