Why would you buy a Kindle if this is the case? Classics are "free" both in terms of cost and format. If I were only going to read classics I would stick with the Sony 505, the most affordable eInk reader out there ($268 vs $359).

Actually, other than classics the books of Baen (free), BooksForABuck, Steven Jordan Books, Scifi-az.com all have books at the $2-$6 level which is very reasonable. Still, not the Kindle store, so why the extra $100 for that device.

Just curious... I like both my Kindle and my Sony.
