That's right, yes.

Also, for the most part, does the whole PDF>Mobi conversion usually work out decently? This is my only other worry.

Plain text PDFs generally convert OK. PDFs with complex layouts, graphs, equations, etc, much less so. You can see how well (or otherwise) it works by downloading the free "MobiPocket Creator" program from MobiPocket and trying to convert some PDFs for yourself - Mobi Creator is essentially the same software that Amazon use to automatically convert PDFs.

Finally, I am still waiting for someone to answer my questions about highlighting, as this is very important for me, especially when i read history and political science type books. Is it all that hard to highlight text with ease using something physical (like the joystick or whatever it is), or is this truly going to feel frustrating in comparison to Sony's touch screen? On the other hand, is note taking and annotations going to be a lot easier with Kindle's physical buttons versus SOny's virtual screen buttons? I have also hard that Kindle's keypad still is not perfect, but wondering if its great compared to touch screen. HOpefully someone can give me a realistic and clear picture of how this really is, and which sacrifice is going to be the more worthwhile.

It has been reported that the Sony suffers dramatic slowdowns once you add more than a few annotations to a book. I don't know if the Kindle has this issue or not.
