I prefer something that supports a variety of free formats. I'll buy DRM formats too if they can be 'cracked' and moved to another device someday. I don't want to be locked into a device or format or vendor. (Given this, which online e-book stores should I look at.)

I prefer something that will work with different OSes. MAC and Linux support are a must. (Calibre, right?)

Reading newspapers and blogs would be nice. (Calibre)
the kindle is better in all those repects to tell you the truth.

kindles only downfall is its form factor, its 1 inch longer (k2 is 1.5 inches longer) and 1 CM wider than the sony PRS 505.
