The reason for the switch from Sony to Kindle is because of the wireless feature. I love reading RSS feeds on my Sony, my friends blogs, etc. But I hate that I can't update unless attached to a computer. With the Kindle, I just click Update Feed and it will have the latest feed on there. I can do this on my iphone, but the iphone really sucks for reading long articles(IMHO), I just have gotten to the point where I just find the screen too small for anything lengthy.
Also, I love the WSJ and I want to get that on the Kindle. I had a print subscription, but reading a paper on print is just cumbersome and I usually just end up with piles of paper to throw away.
Also, I have an iPhone and the whole Kindle to iPhone syncing, even though it doesn't work with non-amazon books as I've had countless discussions about, really does seem pretty cool.
In a way, I've sold out to the man, Bezos... but no other reader can offer the same level of connectivity. Period.
