There are other things that I suspect will be missing from the Kindle as well that Sony offers (such as PDF reflow), but I won't mention them because the devices aren't being sold yet. I would have liked a metal Sony reader, but if making a plastic reader means that Sony can stay on the market, so be it. With $79 dollar Kindles on the market Sony had to bring their prices down any way they knew how to stay afloat.
Apparently you can convert from epub to mobi with Calibre. Never had to though but I got peltered with comments about it in engadget. Metal dear Sony... you should have stuck to metal. Now I want to snatch a 650 in discount (as I snatched my 505) =P
