Excuse me? Is this Sony or Amazon that owns and controls both the content and the hardware? Didn't you just say that you cannot upload anything on your Kindle without Amazon's service? They not only own the content they are providing, they also control the content you own! “Sony’s ownership of both the content and the hardware …”

The kindle pretty much forces you to buy book from their store, or else your going to pay obnoxious fee's, not to mention the horrible design of the device itself. Yes, wireless is amazing, ill give it that, but the Sony Reader is so much more open, and now with their partnership with Google, they have added over 500,000 more books to their ebook library. FOR FREE. Thats something that amazon doesnt have. With the sony reader, its open format, i have only payed for 2 out of the 200+ books i have, and thats because i couldnt find copies online.
