There is some confusion about my battery question. I don't want/need to replace on a daily/monthly or whatever basis. What I am worried about is a unit that MUST be returned to the factory for an EXPENSIVE replacement when it becomes worn out and will no longer hold a charge. The Kindle2 has to go back to Amazon for replacement. Don't want that issue after I buy a unit. Sure it is a year or 2 out, but I want to be able to do it myself.

Also, thanks to all for the feedback. I have Calibre installed already and have downloaded some newspapers, books, etc. But it would be nice to have that auto download function built into a Sony unit the same way it is on the Kindle. Just don't want to get locked into Amazon with the Kindle.
