   Well, it's certainly nice to be the first to leave a comment. As a not so early adapter of the Kindle, I have looked at Sony's E-Reader and when I went to their home page, first off information about the reader's service and content availability was scarce and almost non-existant.Second, my uinderstanding is that you have to first but the unit, and then go to a seperate download site to get content via a usb download.Third, I do not have the time for all of that, especially when you can go to the Kindle store, find what title your looking for and just download it in all in just a few seconds and your done and on your way to reading your selection.And frankly, I am not all that interested in " Public Domain " books anyway, and of course I am also a loyal Kindle owner anyway, so all I see here is some healthy competition and that Sony and Google are worried that Amazon's Kindle is aquiring a Stranglehold on the E-Book market..and notice that Apple has worked with Amazon and added a " Kindle App " to their ITunes store...I have not heard anything about Apple doing anything with Sony's reader...have you?Lewwww.kindledwired.com
