Not so sure about this comment. I believe this would leave you with a built-in dictionary ( I don't have to look up words in a dictionary, and the ones I do from 18th and 19th century novels are rarely in dictionaries) - and the ability to annotate and highlight books (and I haven't made notes in a book since I left college).

So for me a Kindle over my Sony would leave me with a Sony that is cluttered with a keyboard I don't need. But we all have our different perspectives, wants and needs, so not about to really question anyone else's choice.

But I don't think you can argue that it doesn't have more functionality. It's just functionality you personally do not want. I couldn't see buying a Sony because it didn't have dictionary, search, or annotation. I would've bought the Kindle without the wireless because I want a device that does more than just show me pages.
