With a Kindle you're totally dependent on Amazon, you can only read books sold by them.

That's not correct. You can get books from many sources, both paid and free. I've been buying quite a few books from All Romance lately. They can send the books to your Kindle (if you want) or just download the file and transfer with the USB cable. Sites like Feedbooks have free books which also work on the Kindle.

They charge 15 cents for that. But you can also convert a Word doc to a .txt file and just transfer to the Kindle with the USB cable. You can also convert the Word doc with free software such as Mobipocket creator.

That's great -- I'm glad you like it.

I've reread the LA stories by PA Brown you gave me Leslie. Great stories! It was fun spending two days with David en Chriss.

Yes, they are great to spend some time with!
Here's one of my most favorite books of the year....

Will that format work on your Sony?

I didn't know there were other ways to transfer to a Kindle than through Amazon.
So I've been misinformed..... :-\
That's why I was so negative to the Kindle, I thought it made you dependent on Amazon.
Thanks for enlightening me!
