Dear Lazy Web (Kindle by Amazon (cool!))

My sister and Brother-in-law who are avid readers each have this. Any good? They love it. Any other systems that are not so pricey?

We have one at the office. It's kind of a joke. My iphone is a better ebook reader. Seriously.

Any thoughts on the Sony PRS505? valarltd had thoughts on this in another post reply, and I quote "The Sony PRS505 is about the size of a trade paperback. I download a book from a publisher or Project Gutenburg, run it through a conversion program to make sure the format is good and the name and author are on it, then transfer it by USB cable.

I've had the Sony since May and I'm crazy about it, mainly because of DRM--Digital Rights Management--issues. The Kindle uses a proprietary format, Sony can read html, pdf, lit or others."
Wonder what I should purchase? Maybe an iPhone or Instinct would be better?
