You can get News and Blogs on the Sony too... you just need to hook it to your computer to do so.

What you could do is just commit to not buying any more books, and once you've read all your books then get your Kindle.

I also started with the PRS-500. Got it for Christmas the year it came out... so probably a few months after you got yours. But, I never bought any books from Sony. So, all the books I got for the Sony I have been able to also put on my Kindle. My son now uses the Sony. I have yet to buy any kindle books, but that will change because I am running low on eBooks. Although I still have yet to get Jordan's 11 books which I'm sure I will buy DRM free from his store. I think eventually I will get a second Kindle as I start buying Kindle books.

As far as your husband, that sounds like his problem, not yours! Has he "tried" to use the Sony at least?

Bob - Thanks for your quick reply. Most of my content is from Sony. I tried the conversions but they were cumbersome.

No, my husband never even tried the Sony (or the Rocket, for that matter). However, I called him (I am in Japan this week and he is in NJ) and I think he felt sorry for my almost 24-hour door-to-door trip and he said he has no problem if I order the Kindle and he will try the e-books, etc. So a combination of your input, plus guilt, broke the log jam.

Needless to say, I placed my order so the Kindle will be waiting for me when I get home on Friday night.

As you said, I will not buy more Sony books (unless it turns out that my husband and I can move back and forth between the devices).

Best regards -

Betty
