Not to mention, you can always get those for a Kindle 4 PC and convert the files to EPUB to put on an EPUB reader.

Right now I'm keeping my documents in Calibre, so converting files isn't a big issue for me. However, I do have some concerns about how well an ePub-to-AZW conversion might go. I can't believe I missed that one little detail. Though, you're right, Amazon does always seem to have ten tons of freebies, and with an app I can convert all the freebies from Project Gutenberg and (most of the ones from) Google Books to play nice on the Kindle. It's a pity side-loaded books on both platforms don't sync.

950's are suppose to be nice but they are most likely outside your price range even used. They were not mass marketed so they are less plentiful and they were more expensive to begin with.

Yeah, Sony never really did do a great job of marketing those things. Nor did they ever really secure any great deals with publishers. So I guess that just leaves me with the Nook and the Kindle as the leaders, then?
