It's almost like they've been lurking on Mobileread, looking at the complaints/wishlists/feedback of both the Kindle and the Sonys, and put their time and money into developing what people really want.

In most of the discussions I've seen between the sony and the kindle dictionary support and notes were the two biggest points of comparison. 16 grey scales vs 8 is occasionally mentioned but it's more of a niche for people who use their reader for a lot of PDFs or comic books.

And wireless seems to be a double-edged sword lately...
