Local Wal-Mart’s have the PRS300 for $148. If you only care about price get the sony!

but...

I don't like the feel of the sony in my hands... its too cold and metallic. The Kindle may not look as 'flashy' but (IMHO) fits in your hands better. The wide border around the screen and keyboard make the Kindle natural to hold.

The Kindle has a larger screen (6" vs 5").

Free Wireless on the Kindle. Im surprised how often i use it to look up something.

Amazon has more books... I like to read some of the books my kids enjoy. It helps me keep them excited about reading. Ever try to find any of the "Percy Jackson" books on the sony site? Or the 'Fabelhaven' series? Amazon has them all.

Any book format can be converted to the Kindle. I even check out ebooks from the local Library. It’s not as easy as the sony, but it’s not that hard. (Calibre is your friend).

There are quite a few other things i love about the Kindle... But you'll need to find what you like.
