Thank you to all for additional input provided. When I made the upgrade from the Sony 505 to the 900 I did this for the touch screen capability, as well as the ability to highlight text and make notes. The larger screen size was just a bonus.

I do like the $119.00 pricing on the Kindle PW, but to be fair to other brands out there that price is only for those willing to accept the push advertising from Amazon on the reader. The “clean” price is $139.00, only $10.00 less than the Aura. Amazon promises that those ads will not appear while actually reading and that whole business may be stopped at any time by paying the $20.00 differential even after purchase and use so I will try it and if I find it annoying pay to have it stopped. I don't like that it does not ship with an AC charger, that's another $19.99. I already have and AC USB charger from my Nook Color. Anyone know if I could use that for the Kindle as well?
