I have a lot of free books on my Kindles. What free books can you get for the Sony that you can't get for Kindle? I usually use manybooks.net, but feedbooks, gutenberg and other public domain websites with free public domain books have them in mobi (which Kindle uses) format. Then there are all the free books that Amazon offers.

I think the only reason to buy a Sony over a Kindle is to read library ebooks. I have a Cybook Opus for this. I'd like to have the pink Sony 300 pocket reader too. The looks of the pink 300 is another good reason to buy it!
