Welcome. I have a kindle (which I will be giving to my Dad) and a kindle 2 hopefully arriving tomorrow. Can't wait. I had a Sony 505 and overall liked it but I don't need 2 readers so I recently sold it on ebay. My main problem with it over the kindle is book prices and content at amazon are better and I do really like dictionary look up. My other grip was the fonts. 3 font choices are opposed to 6 for kindle was limiting. I too often depending on the book or where I go the book- found medium to be to small and large to be to large and sometimes medium and large both were to small. On the kindle most books on font size 4 seem to be perfect.

I did actually purchase a sony 700 but returned it within 2 days . Beautifully made and loved the idea of a touchscreen but that screen glare and lack of clarity was bad imo.

Anyway, welcome and enjoy your kindle.
