Oh, I completely agree; when it comes to typing text, the Kindle's keyboard wins hands-down. What I use my 600 for, though, is "marking up" errors while proof-reading books, and for that, the stylus is a clear winner - it's so easy to underline or circle words, scribble notes in the margin, and so on. If I was actually writing notes, though, then I'd certainly prefer the Kindle.

A bit off-topic, but I was wondering how drawing/writing with the stylus compares to the DR1000? How quick is it?

It's definitely slower than the iRex, and not quite as accurate, but it works OK. The Wacom touch screen on the iRex is a lot more accurate than the Sony's touch screen - it's easy to get "pixel-accuracy" on the iRex, whereas when you write on the Sony, you never really know, within a couple of mm, where the writing will appear. For what I use it for, though, it's certainly good enough.
