Yes, there are some sites that allow you to get free books on the public domain. However, you need to pay for books with copyright on both devices.
Between the two, I’ll say the Amazon Kindle, and it now goes international.
I love my Kindle 2 very much. The Amazon Kindle is better Sony E Reader because it has free wireless and text-to-speech function. There are more ebooks you can find available for the Kindle, and books on the Kindle are quite a lot cheaper too. There are some good comparison between them here:

And in case you don’t know, Amazon has recently put a price slash on the Kindle 2, and it adds in international wireless access and native PDF support… So take the chance if you want it.
Hope it helps 
I believe the Sony reader advertises it comes with 100 free books, but the book it comes with can easily be had for free in the Kindle stoer as well since they’re ou tof copy write books. You can download out of copywrite books at sites like manybooks.net for free no matter which e-reader you get. None of the e-reader companies give away contemporary novels for free.
