I guess there are still some things I don't get about the Sony PRS 900. Maybe you guys can enlighten me?

1. You can only download directly (WIFI) from the sony internet book store to the PRS 900 (i.e. sony.books.com) Correct?

2. Everything else like Libraries, Google Books and so on goes FIRST to your computer and THEN you download it onto the PRS 900. Correct?

I think that the Sony bookstore is very lacking in titles if you stack it against Barnes and Nobles and Amazon. At least for the books i'm interested in. So if Sony Books doesn't have the book title I want I have to go somewhere else and therefore complete 2 steps (downloading it to the computer, then to the Sony reader) instead of one step if I use the Kindle or the Nook as their bookstore have pretty much everything. Correct?
I would love to get the Sony Ereader but I'm not sure if the Nook or the Kindle are the better choices. Thanks for your help!
