I just bought a PRS-700 last week precisely because, in the end, I didn't trust Amazon enough to buy a Kindle. While Sony certainly isn't without sin, Amazon has made a system that's closed from end to end and I don't want anything to do with it. Mr. Bezos reminds me a little more every day of a mafioso: "Fer a small monthly fee, nothin' unpleasant will happen to yer Kindle. And don't even think about goin' anywhere else fer yer books, if yez knows what I means."
The fact that the PRS-700 doesn't have network support and that it can handle so many different formats are the main reasons I chose it. I'm more convinced than ever that I made the right choice.
