The Kindle wireless is nice, but after 50 docs on the thing, it is a mess to page through with no tags or folders. Imagine comments on their thread by users with 200+ books and PDF.
To each his own, but in my experience my Kindle are faster and had better contrast than my 6-7 months old Sony505. I also never got the 'collections' to work well for me on the 505; it crashed once in a while and the collections meta data usually got deleted (along with bookmarks etc.) and I could load my books again and start over. Since I preferred reading LRF files and used calibre, that meant re-pagination of the books (tedious 2-5 min. wait). In the end, I didn't use collections at all, just had a flat list like on the Kindle. I like the idea of collections/tags, but it has to work consistently.
