Personally, I found the Sony unsuitable since it does not support dictionary lookup or content search. The Kindle also lets you annotate books which is a nifty feature. I wasn't overly thrilled about whispernet when I first heard about it until I actually started using my Kindle. Aside from fun things like wikipedia search, it changes the buying process in a significant way. I do believe it saves me money. You can get free sample chapters of the books in the Amazon store. Once you finish reading the sample, you can just click a link at the end to buy it. You've got your book and are continuing to read in less than a minute. This keeps me from buying books in advance without knowing if I'll really like them. I've read a lot of sample chapters and NOT bought the book. However, I won't tend to read much of the excerpts on the website (or standing around in the bookstore). This lead to a lot of wasted money in my past. I've had no regrettable purchases from the Kindle store.
I haven't been keeping tabs on the PDF DRM front so much these days? Which other readers have support for it besides Sony?
