I'm fortunate enough to own both a Kindle and a Sony. The Kindle is currently my preferred device -- primarily because of the easy and inexpensive access to current releases. The Sony Store doesn't have as good of a selection nor as good prices -- and although I *can* deal with format shifting, I don't want to have to. Even if I didn't use the wireless connectivity, I'd still have a preference for the Kindle. One thing that I *really* like about the Kindle is the ability to highlight portions of text and create a note, kind of like writing in the margins of a paper book. This highlight and note are also copied into a text file which I can transfer to the PC and use however I wish. That makes it really easy to extract quotes for a book review!
Don't get me wrong ... I do like my Sony Reader as well. And one reason why I bought it is that there are a significant number of books posted here at MobileRead which have been formatted only for the Sony. Since I'm lazy and don't want to go to the trouble of building the books in MobiPocket format, I got the Sony.
