Ha Moloko, you've got me there! I forgot to mention I'd be back anyway to report what happened^^
I subscribed to this thread already and will leave a note whether we meet in Kindle or Pocketbook section. You do the same with Kobo, deal?
Would be nice to see how my fellow Sonyiac arrived in his new system
My plan is to rebuild the Sony comfort and find some new features I DIDN'T have before. Heck, if I end up happy with Kindle, I might even slaughter a paperwhite and try to colour the leds with a filter if that's possible. I love waaarm reading light and always warm-toned the MightyLights for my Sony. I never heard of someone doing something like that, but maybe it's possible after all...
Regarding your support question: I wouldn't mind that since we have a dealer's warranty. If that applies in your country, too, you're better off with that than with any of the manufacturers'. At least that's a point where Sony is no better than the rest ;-)
Good luck and see you guys around!
