I wouldn't have to switch... except that right now, the only way I could afford a Pocket Pro would be to sell the Sony. (Which I don't have authenticated with Adobe. Decided I'm not buying DRM'd anything, and for the occasional DRM'd freebie, the hassle of installation and registration is just too much to deal with on dialup.)

I can't justify $250 for an ebook reader just to get access to a couple of non-DRM'd filetypes. (And smaller screen, sigh. I'd like a smaller screen.)
