I also couldn't decide between the two. I liked the wireless capability of the Kindle but I like the multiple formats of the Sony. After finding the Calibre program, which fixed the multiple formats issue, I went with the Kindle. Plus the price of the refurbished Kindle 1 ($150) was too good to pass up. I now have a ton of books and I can check my e-mail anywhere I want. If I had to do it again, I would've paid a little more and went with the Kindle 2 due to the PDF support that for some reason the K1 didn't get. Grrr...
