A decent eBook reader but, with the Amazon Kindle on its way, the Story struggles to make a compelling case

Kindle comments
Speaking as a prospective new Kindle owner, and I won't get mine until early September due to huge demand, there are some errors in the last paragraph of your article.
Surely the first sentence of the last paragraph should refer to the iRiver reader and not the Kindle, as you then go on to say you can't reccomend it. Then in the next sentence basically saying that as the Kindle is so much cheaper it wins out. Oh I wish it was £100 cheaper for the wi-fi only version, but it costs £109 incl' VAT not £100.
I decided on the Kindle as opposed to the Sony PRS-300 (now reduced to just £99.99 at Waterstones), even though it was £9 more, due to it's better overall rep on many web based reviews, and it's inclusive features, such as wi-fi, better memory, and better greyscales. On top of that is the overall better file format acceptance, whether by using their own e-mail based conversion service, or natively.
You might also like to take a look at the 'Calibre' ebook library management software, which serves as a competent file format converter as well.

oh dear
It would appear that duplicate posts are a minor problem compared with what these idiots are putting up.
Back to the review, well the first comment is a bit picky but the review is written in the "I see what you wrote but I know what you mean" style. :-(
