Excellent responses! Thank you all very much. I think I'm starting to lean more toward the PLUS model...and 6 weeks is not too long to wait (well, actually, yes it is

). However, it sounds like the PP is very solid and I would be happy with it also. As with most things, price may be the final deciding factor. Decisions, decisions.
I downloaded a copy of Calibre to play around with it a bit on my PC and it looks like it can handle a lot of what I'm looking for with RSS feeds...as well as organize my books. Thanks for the recommendation.
