Don't know too much about the Kindle but I have had a Sony Reader for almost 2 years now. Sony has a number of models to choose from... but I love it. It actually reads better in strong sunlight than dim light and there are 1000's of titles to choose from... everything from the classics to new releases. New titles are generally in the $6 to $10 range. It will hold many books although I don't know why you would have more than just a couple at a time. You can also download pictures and music, it has a headphone jack. You can keep your library of titles in your computer or delete them. Sony keeps a database of titles you have bought and you can re-download them any time you want. I am sure the Kindle works similarly but Sony was the original and has been around a while longer and has worked out any problems that may had existed. I think the Kindle has only been around for less than a year. Got mine for about $50 a couple years ago.
