Oh... Well if this is true, then that's what I wasn't aware of... It's been years since I've messed eBooks.. Mostly because it's not fun, easy, or convenient to read from your computer... Anyway, since free content is not an issue with this as I originally thought it was.. Why on earth would anyone NOT choose the K2 over the sony??

Thanks for the tip!

Also, spidermatt.. I was talking about a book sorting system such as category, title, author, etc... I didn't see anything about this on amazon.. do you know if it's a feature?

OH and one more thing.. I wonder if I will be able to use Calibre (I pronounce it ca-LEE-bre) to create "books" from rss feeds that the K2 will be able to read so I can take advantage of free subscriptions.. or can I do it direct from the K2?
