In fact, even with the hoop-jumping, it's still easier to find and buy books in the Kindle store than it is in, say, the Waterstones site (which is supposed to be the main source of books for Sony users in the UK).

The reason why I went with Kindle though I am in Asia is mainly because Amazon's book support is the largest and most affordable; I read non-fiction business books only and so can forget about Guthenberg and the likes and other eBook retailers like Sony's aren't extensive and affordable enough. And at a price of $489, I can get a 9.7" Kindle DX, which has basic PDF support and that is good enough for me.
