However it is very interesting as a concept - always being connected to a bookstore and news sources - and as such probably represents the future of e-readers. Therefore it deserves the attention it gets. I am pretty sure that all e-readers will follow in the footsteps of the Kindle eventually, so we should all pay attention to it even if we arent in the Kindle camp...

I have to disagree that the Sony Readers look like cheap toys. In fact, I do think they look more sturdy then most because of the metal casing. The Kindle is more limited in file formats it can handle then some, but being poorly designed, I have to also disagree.
