You can buy ebooks outside of the official stores - places like booksonboard.com and fictionwise.com are popular.
It might be worth working out how many books for the Kindle you can buy before the $100 price difference is irrelevant - if it's more than you'd be likely to buy over a reasonable (you need to work out what's reasonable for you!) period, then personally I'd be tempted to go for the Sony and spend the difference straight away on books  |
I'm with the above post. Not to mention right now the Kindle is sold out, but if you've been waiting a while I guess that doesn't matter
If you are just reading books (aka not newspapers) then I'd recommend the Sony. There is a price difference on bestsellers, you're right, but the price difference between the two devices makes up for that. To me, the main selling points on the Kindle are the wireless and the ability to read newspapers and some magazines. If you think that those features are worth the extra cash, then go with the Kindle.
