The Kindle has a built in cell receiver so that you can wirelessly browse, preview and purchase books using one-click.
Typically ebook readers are larger than PMP's with larger screens. If you're going to read for a few hours, then the screen of a typical PMP becomes pretty eye-straining (due to size, contrast, and brightness).
