Not trying to argue with you, just sharing my thoughts but... I don't hate amazon and don't really know what anyone COULD hate about them. I'm not sure of the ebooks I have, but I doubt they're DRM protected.. I personally wouldn't collect "books" or any other type of media I couldn't share. and yes.. the Sony is sooo much sleeker looking but the functionality of the Kindle FAR outweighs the 505 and 700 combined...
The "steps back" you mentioned being the lack of expandable memory, rubber grip, and removable battery, correct? Me personally, I could probably overlook these traits. My theory is they removed these characteristics to decrease its thickness by half.
I DO want a reader but if what you're saying is true perhaps I should hold off until the next generation of readers. Or at the least wait till this is released and see the reviews
PEACE!
