Recommend the Sony reader, BeBook or CyBook instead. The latter two both support mobi whilst the first supports ePub (which admittedly isn't all that common for purchases yet).
This is absolutely right. I responded to someone online, and showed them my kindle, and I have spoken with 4 people on the train this week and told them how much I love my kindle. From now on, it is how much I want a Sony 505, and how sorry I am I bought from Amazon.
