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? |
You can also use the "search" feature on the Kindle to search for books, and you can list books by author name or by title or by most recent (so that the book you are reading currently stays on the top of the list).
Since I hate paging through my books (and I have a TON of books), I use search a lot. I just type the title into search and it pops up.
As to why someone might choose a Sony over a K2 ... some people would do it because they HATE Amazon (that's the JSWolf method of reader shopping). Some might do it because they already have a large collection of DRM protected books from the Sony store that they cannot port over to the Kindle (and I wouldn't blame them for a minute for that decision). Some are still going to prefer how a Sony looks next to a K2. After all, you can get the Sony in red, and yes ... to some people that is important.
Then, you have people like me who will stick with my K1 until Amazon decides to make a reader that I think is better. The K2 is not that device. For me, it's several steps backward in an attempt to pander to the lowest common denominator in marketing. And, since that's what they decided to do, I hope it works for them. If they'd have come out with the K2 first, I probably would have bought something else altogether (although, probably not a Sony, since I think their customer service borders on non-existent).
