Which is why I am still on the fence as to which reader to buy, even though I like the Sony's design (and price) better (the Whispernet and keyboard on the Kindle mean little to me).
Yeah, I don't particularly care about the keyboard (which is the worst defined feature on the device IMO) or the Whispernet (it's nice getting the papers and such, but I'd be okay just being able to connect it to the computer as well.)

But they have a good store and it's getting better all the time. But as you said... Sony has started and stopped so many services over the years, I don't have any faith in them not leaving me in the cold.

Sure, Amazon COULD do that... but right now it certainly doesn't appear that way. Sony is still barely updating their store and their software is pathetic (which shows you there what kind of priority they have for actually making the device succeed.)
