That being said, I prefer Kobo's bookstore over Sony's, and even over Amazon's. For some reason, the books seem . . . brighter and with better fonts.
I've been using my Droid Bionic as my ebook reader lately, and being Android, I have my pick of sources for ebooks. I bought Nathan Lowell's "Half Share" from Amazon and "Full Share" from Kobo. And the font from Amazon seems cluttered and less pleasant to read, and I couldn't figure out how to change fonts, while the one from Kobo, seemed to have better spacing and a 'cleaner' font. Plus it gave me the opportunity to change the font if I wanted to.
I still have my Sony 350, but my son has developed an interest in ereading, so I've been thinking about maybe getting a larger reader, my eyes are finally starting to show their age. I'm thinking about either going with Kobo because I like their bookstore, or with a 7" Android tablet. (leaning towards Google Nexus rather than Amazon, I really like the freedom Android gives me for source material).
I hate the Sony Bookstore! The worst part of the Sony experience. Well, then too, while the build quality is superb, I don't believe the premium you pay for a Sony is worth the increase in quality.
