1. Whispernet free in the US. International users have different price structures which I don't fully comprehend - if that applies to you then you need to research it.

2. Sony vs Kindle - they both have their fans and their detractors. Amazon seems to have the market share, but that doesn't always translate into the superior product.

3. If you go up to the news forum somebody has posted an article comparing eBook prices on the most popular books and Amazon is winning by a wide margin. Amazon also seems to have the most books. Sony reader can handle Adobe ePub files though, which translates to an ability to shop in many websites beyond the Sony bookstore.

4. Text to speech is nice, although not as nice as an audiobook (which is a performer reading a book with voices and inflection) if that is what you are expecting. It is a computerized voice reading to you and some words get mispronounced - sometimes in a very humorous manner.
