I received my Kindle today and I have to say that so far I love it. As many have said in these forums, it looks much nicer in person than in the pictures. I've owned a Sony 505 for about 3 months and I have had more fun with my Kindle in several hours than all the months with the Sony. I really like the Kindle page buttons as I find the Sony buttons much to hard to push and way too small. They become a distraction for me on the Sony. I can see how you can accidently push the Kindle page forward if you are not careful, but after using it a few minutes I found it no problem at all. I'm sure being left handed may have helped me.
The ability to download right from the Kindle store without the need of a computer really makes the device much more useful in my opinion. I could not quite figure out at first why I was enjoying the Kindle so much more than the Sony and then I realized it just feels like a more complete reading experience.
Mac users will understand what I mean by this. When you boot your Mac, it's a totally different feeling than when you have to boot up a PC. I smile when I'm on my Mac, I never smile when I have to boot my PC. The Kindle vs. The Sony reminds me of that feeling. There is nothing wrong with the Sony, it's a fine device, but sometimes there is more to the experience than just getting the job done.
So I'd say if you are sitting on the fence thinking about what device to get, go ahead and try the Kindle, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
