^^ Same with me. My Sony PRS 700 is the best gadget I own and we own lot's of fancy electronic stuff. 248 books on it so far. Still tons of room on its internal memory. I'd take a Sony Reader over a Kindle any day.

No one has mentioned the fact that Amazon can delete content on the Kindle without your knowledge or approval after you buy it. I would be quite hesitant to pay money for such a product.

Some articles about it:

There's a few new Sony ones coming out, one with a smaller screen and lower price.

Plus aparently the sony ones are hackable!
