Thanks for your time in advance. I'll be buying my first ebook reader soon. I'm leaning toward the latest Sony model because people seem to like it and it costs a little less than Kindle. Also, I'm not sure if I want Kindle because of its wireless ability to purchase content from Amazon. Sounds too easy to indulge impulses. My impulse control goes down with a glass of wine in my hand.

What I want from my reader:

Ability to read in low light levels (like in bed with only small lamp on.)
Also ability to read in daylight. (Am I asking the impossible?)
Lightweight.
Decent battery life.
USB interface with desktop computer.

Looking forward to your responses.
