kindle vs reader

OH MY!  HOW COULD I RESIST THEM?????????? i've wanted one since like the amazon kindle first came out. problem is, they're really hard to get. i buy books from amazon all the time, but amazon can't send electronic items to indonesia. zzzzzz. so yeah, i haven't got a chance to own one. but now, sony also released something of the sort and i'm uber psyched! i can't just walk over to any sony centre spread all over jakarta! lalalaaa. down here's a list which compares the two.
amazon kindle:
-it's slightly bigger(not sure about the weight though)
-it's the first out of all items alike
-it's featured by oprah
-the screen can't light up
-there are alphabet keypads to make browsing easier
-you can only buy them online
-holds up to 200 books
-battery lasts up to 1 week
-$359.00

sony reader:
-it's slightly smaller
-promoted by lily cole
-the screen can light up
-no alphabet keys, so i hope they have a good way for browsing
-you can buy them at any sony centre(YEAYNESS!)
-holds up to 320 books
-battery lasts up to 2 weeks
-$399.99

ok so it's pretty obvious that sony reader is better. haha. yeah, no need to explain why. whatever, i am sooooooooo getting one. parah2. can't wait!

The 505 does not have a screen with lighting. You can buy a seperate cover with lighting in it, however.

The new PRS-700 has lighting built-into the screen:
