I looked for comparative reviews of these items, and did not find anything substantial. In the one review I did find that directly compares these two items, it basically says that the Kindle has the wireless connection, and that justifies the extra $200 I would be paying.While I value the wireless connection, I seriously doubt the $200 price tag on it. If anything, that connection pays for itself with all the impulse buying that it allows.In addition to that, the Kindle attempts to ensure that you have a ‘legal’ copy of what you are trying to read, and the Sony reader does not. As a student who uses e-textbooks provided by my online university (which is one of the primary reasons I am considering purchasing a ereader), I worry that the Kindle may not recognize all of my books as legitimate.So, I am asking the Kindle community, what is the added value of a Kindle 2 over a Sony eReader beyond the 3G connection? What about the Kindle 2 would justify spending an additional $200?Please avoid emotional and rhetorical arguments. They will be ignored by me, and do not add to this discussion.
