Well, Pro-digit where do I start.
You don't care for the Kindle design, thats okay. I like it....You love your Sony, thats good too.
Now, no "salesman" talked me into the Kindle. It sold itself by the informational video on the home page.....I'm not talking Jeff Bezo's or any of the celebrities listed. Just the informational one. I am so glad I saw and bought it then, because unfortunately, had I not done so, I guarantee I would have never gone near it once Oprah got her claws into it.
The reason people are 'glorifying' it so much is because thats the way they really feel. If you don't feel that way about yours, thats sad!
Just look at the people over on the Amazon Kindle discussions page. One person bought TWO and then realized there was no whispernet coverage in her area. Didn't have the sense to check it out on the Amazon site first. Thats the Oprah mentality I hate. People will take what she says, buy a product, or book, not even beginning to wonder if there is any information missing that may be important.
As for the Whispernet, I think its amazing to be able to download books any time or place I am. Since I don't travel much, I don't worry about being out of coverage area. I don't use it for surfing the 'net, thats what I have a laptop for. The dictionary is awesome.
Asking help with a device you own, or wondering which one is the best for you, is not a bad thing. We've all done it enough.
Not even attempting to know what you are buying is the problem.
And by the way......a really good salesman would sell the customer whichever one best suited them, not which one pays him more, because he knows that customer will be back. Good salesmen are hard to find.
