The review is actually incorrect. You don't actually have to pay to download content or to convert content, only if you want to have it converted and 'directly' sent to your kindle. You can have books converted for free and download to your computer, then transfer to your kindle using usb, exactly the way the sony reader works. So basically you can use it like the sony reader, or you can have the convenience of wireless transfer. And wireless books sell with no extra cost for transfer.

Sony Reader wins. I don't care much for wireless download if they are gonna cost me.

sony reader is better, because you can put your personal content on it from your computer hassle free.

The Sony PRS-500 has been out for over a year now. In addition, it can display both txt and rtf files without conversion. I believe the Kindle can display txt and prc(unencrypted mobipocket) files.
