Having had a Kindle longer than my Sonys I can sympathize with OP, no question the Kindle is a lot easier if you just want to buy books in a simple manner, read them and remove them. I can load up in an airport (I have WiFi only model but tether it to my phone) before a trip. For those of you that haven't tried the Kindle, the obvious difference is the "in-store experience". Amazon's Kindle shop is just soo much better than what you get from Sony. Don't get me wrong, Sony is trying hard, but it has been around a lot longer than Amazon and it has been a global corporation for decades, yet their in-store experience is very very parochial.

I find this most unfortunate. Sony has the potential to be a true competitor with Amazon, even surpassing them. But the truth is that e-Readers and bookstores probably donät make a dent in Sony's accounting figures, hence they are treated likewise.
