Saw Sony's alternative to the Kindle today at Borders. Guess it's been out a while. Runs $299 to the Kindle's $359. Weighs over an ounce less. Measures 6.9" x 4.8" x 0.3" to the Kindle's 7.5" x 5.3" x 0.7". 8 level grey scale to the Kindle's 4 level. One thing tho.. the Reader appears to be tied to a PC where the Kindle isn't.

I've thought about getting a Kindle for a while. Don't know why I haven't gone ahead and grabbed one.
