Personally the most important feature on a device is readability, Yea I want to be able to get the content when I want it but If i can't read it on my device why am I using that device. Kindle is charging 10$ per book of there 90k books and they all come in the AZW format a DRM format that doesn't allow you to get your books from any source you want to. Really in this day and age who wants to try and deal with DRM I can just see these problems popping up everywhere. Oh I bought 100 books back in 2008 for my amazon kindle I paid 2000$ for them. Well I'm sorry Sir/Mam this is 2009 your previously purchased books are no longer valid (an exaggeration I know but who know what will be happening in 2015) I just noticed this review on another site a user tried to copy and read several types of documents to their kindle. Having copied over .DOC, .TXT, .RTF, .PDF, .GIF, .JPEG, and .PDB files directly to the Kindle via USB, only the .TXT file showed up for viewing. The .DOC file I sent over the air to the Kindle arrived as a .AZW, the Kindle format, which implies to me that the only two file formats this thing can read natively are .AZW and .TXT. Yet this website would have you believe their statement about the Format: just about equal. On the kindle you can read AZW and on the bookeen you can read everything else but the Kindle has wireless. Wireless is a convenience feature where as having access to any format you want is a necessary feature that the kindle just doesn't offer. Finally as a person not living in the USA I'd like to point out that the wireless delivery will not work. So after reading my response unless you plan on spending the majority of your time in the states they is no point in buying the kindle as the only thing going for it no longer counts as you have to conect to a computer to DL your books.
