How is it limited? I haven't found any "limitations".

I can buy from other stores, download free books, and if I choose, strip drm.

I can download books from my library, and read them on my Kindle without stripping drm........can you do that?
Actually, yes the 505 and 700 can do that. They can view PDF and ePub from libraries without the need to strip DRM. And as for buying from other bookstores besides Sony, we can and also strip DRM and convert. That is one step the Kindle doesn't have to go through. But Calibre makes it rather easy to convert with no hassle.

What I don't get is why is this thread in the Sony forum? And I also don't get what the K2 hating is all about.
