Yep. When the Kindle first came out I didn't even remotely care about Whispernet. I'm quite comfortable loading stuff via USB. I figured it was for the tech-shy and I likely wouldn't use it very often. I cared about search and dictionary support. If the Sony had those, I would have bought one long before. When the Kindle came out with those two features, the biggest selection of content and the lowest book prices, I jumped on it.

I have since grown to love Whispernet and realize just how cool it is. It's the combination of the connectivity and the sample chapters which I find truly game changing but the Kindle still has plenty to offer even without it.
