This is really hits the jest of it and should be the ultimate decision maker.

The experience ultimately is based on the combination of content, it's price and the device.

Personally I think the Kindle is a great choice. It is effortless, the devices has all the essential features, Amazon has the best selection and usually the best prices. It has a high upfront cost but you will get your money back, for me it would take a year to 1.5 yrs.

I have the SONY 505 and have had it for 1/2 year. With tools such as Calibre( book convetere, rss), PDFLRF (PDF to LRF creator), Bookit (web to LRF) and DictionaryLauncher it has made it a more flexible choice for me than the Kindle, but they are all with more effort. I've only ever bough t 1 book from SONY Connect and it was nice being able to read the book without having to tinker with the book format.

However I TOO want my to buy books at amazon's prices the only way I've been able to do this was to buy from Fictionwise.com. With their book club discount and reward points I can come within a dollar cost and many time even cheaper. So Fictionwise has gotten most of my business. The drawback to Finctionwise has the worst ebook selection for the books I'm interested in of all the eBook sites.

In the end I believe that regardless of your choice, in the end you will be 100% satisfied with the ebook experience.
