Point 1 knocks the Kindle for not supporting PDF. However the Kindle DX does support PDF (although not as well as I'd like).
Point 2 claims the Kindle 1 didn't support a USB cable. Yes it does. It just wasn't built into the charger.
Point 3 asks for a lower price. No argument from me.
Point 4 says "Please give us a backlit screen." This guy is an idiot.
Point 5 implies you need to buy a copy of the book for every device you want to read the ebook on. Once again this is wrong.
Way to go PC World.

Point 1 is talking about the K2. So the DX does not count in this case.
Point 4 says Sony has a backlit screen. I think he means a front light scree because of the 700's LEDs. But he's still wrong. It's not backlit asnd Sony doesn't have it.
Point 5 is correct in one respect. If I bought a Kindle eBook, I cannot read it on my computer. This is the weak link in Amazon's eBooks. You HAVE to have either a Kindle or an iPhone/iPod Touch and if you only have a computer, you are out of luck.
