Traded in the Sony 505 for the Kindle. Mainly due to the fact that overall, books seem to be cheaper at Amazon. I have the same complaints that many others do ie, buttons on the side are way too big, On/Off buttons on the back and not easy to get to with the cover on if one wants to keep the Kindle locked in etc. (It's almost enuf to send the Kindle back but, I like the book prices!).
I know a lot of people complained about Sony's online book store, but there were some things I liked about it, like New Releases, Bundle specials an occational promotion etc. Does Amazon have anything like that on their Online website? I know that you can access New Books using the Kindle, but what about online? I haven't found it yet for Kindle books. Also, what's the recommended address I should bookmark to get to the Kindle site at Amazon? So far for me, there's too many mouse clicks to get to the Kindle Book page. I've been lurking on Mobileread for over year and I know I'll be impressed with the ideas that ya'll have to make my transition to the Kindle easy!
Thanks in advance!

PS Do I need to change my User Name now?
