sony 900 vs. kindle features

I just purchased the Sony 900 last night and so far am loving it! It has even gotten my 7 year old to read! Amazing! Anyway, I was looking through some of the ebook store and wondering this... I was experimenting with Calibre last night and added a few of the news feeds to my Sony with the "fetch news" feature. I was up all night reading PC World, Mac World, etc. Love love love that I can do this with my Sony! Anyway....

I was browsing through the Kindle store and there are soooo many more books for cheaper. There are a few books I would like to read and they aren't available on the Sony store. I do need to buy another reader for my husband anyway but was staying away from Kindle because of the DRM issues. I was wondering if the you can use another program like Calibre with the Kindle to do the same thing such as I did with the "Fetch News" feature on Calibre.

I love the fact that I can get a lot of free books through Google and other sources, but it seems that Amazon has quite a few free books as well. Does anyone own both a Sony and a Kindle that can comment on this?

Thanks for any input!
