If you email to have a PDF converted, is that some sort of automated process? Do you get the converted PDF's instantly? If it's not instant then about how long does it usually take?
Do those converted PDF's get stored in your account? Can you do the wireless sync with those PDF's and read them on you iPhone using the Kindle app?
Can I use some 3rd party app like say Stanza and convert files to the Amazon Kindle format and then put them onto my Kindle manually via a SD card but then have it upload via the Kindle to my account and have it accessible from something like the Kindle app in the iPhone?
Do you regret getting the Kindle 2 versus something like the Sony PRS-505?
I know, random questions...
But I'm hoping someone can answer them before I pull the trigger on it.

EDIT1:
Well I answered two of my initial questions on my own already.
It no longer comes with a cover or wall charger, that sucks.
So beyond that now I'm hoping to figure out about all this PDF conversion crap.
I cannot believe this thing doesn't have the ability to expand it's storage via SD or something like that.
I'm starting to wonder if it's really worth the extra cost over the Sony PRS-505...
90% of what I read will be ebooks I already have and not books I'd buy direct from Amazon, I might on rare occasions purchase books directly from Amazon though but I'm not sold that it's worth getting this just to have that option.
One of the huge selling points is that it can keep my reading progress in sync with the iPhone app, which is something I'd get a ton of use out of, but if that won't work with my own ebooks I already own then again I'm not sure it's worth spending the extra money on.
EDIT2:
Well I pulled the trigger on the Sony PRS-505.
$269 versus $359 (Kindle 2) and it does more specifically what I'm looking for.
Now it's the waiting game of how long will it take J&R (Amazon reseller) this time to actually ship my item.
