Jon. I wonder if the Sony will be substantially' cheaper. What do you think? If the two were essentially the same price (within say 75 bucks for example... Sometimes I spend nearly 75 bucks on a round of golf) then I'll make my decision based on the availability and cost of books. It seems to me that the Amazon bookstore can't be beaten in the ebook world. I don't know why some peole are so ticked at Amazon for their "horrid business practices" but the Kindles ability to shop at any time, preview books, get books from Gutenberg and Manybooks, the ability to transfer text files via Usb and (prolly most importantly) get free books from this site and store 1500 in it's memory banks seems like the deal clincher for me. I've always disliked he Sony store and it's ways. The preview feature has me real excited. When I go into Borders I enjoy browsing the stacks and picking up random books to read for a taste. (I know the electroni experience is not the same) I usually know if I want to finish a book by the end of the first chapter so I look at that feature as a potential money saver. Is there any hard facts out yet about a Sony big screen reader?
