As stated before the Sony is not wireless and I do not find that a problem. I just download books to my laptop from whatever source I want and load the books I want to have available at any particular time on my Sony. All my books reside on my laptop and I can delete books from my Sony and still have them locally available if I get the desire to re-install one.

No I never concidered a Kindle, as I got my original Sony as a Xmas present and just naturaly bought a replacement. However, I have been reviewing the Kindle and discovered that I cannot use its wireless feature at my home. I live in the big ditch, Chambers Canyon, on a Salmon Creek and there is no Sprint service. Plenty of Verizon, but no Sprint. My wife has a company cell phone that is Sprint and it is totally useless at our home. So all the fancy features of a wireless Kindle that will load newspapers and mags well you sleep is wasted on me.

Hope this helps
