Take my response with a grain of salt since I don't have my Kindle yet, but I wouldn't expect the web browsing capabilities of an e-ink based device to be that great(yet). I have used the Sony PRS-505 several times and I can't imagine spending any significant time surfing the web on one. Also, personally, I don't like to have a bunch of distractions when reading a book, so that is a plus for me. It is, however, very nice to have that functionality when you need it.

One of the main reason for my purchase of a dedicated device for reading ebooks is, the fact that I do not like reading on my laptop at all. It is too cumbersome and it affords too many possibilities for distractions, where as with the Kindle I can see myself reading for hours on it.
