I'm pretty sure that I can do what I want to do on both devices. My main concern is how quick and easy is it to load non-Amazon content to a Kindle? And it seems like, with the Kindle, that a lot of what you're paying for is the Whispernet access, which I can see being convenient when I travel - but I don't travel that often.

Non amazon content can be loaded to the kindle from your pc with the usb cord provided. Easy peasy. It must be drm free (like what we have here) or you need to strip the drm first.
Sony has the easiest library usage.
Whispernet can be used just about anywhere in the US.....not just for traveling.
If you want a book from the Amazon store, whether you are at home or in the docs office or standing in line somewhere, you turn on whispernet, go to the Kindle store, find it and click 'buy now'. Bingo bango....its there. Thats the beauty of it.
You can also buy books from other sites for the Kindle. See here. This is a great link. (thanks to Daffy)
