I thought I would reply with my decision and why in case it helps someone. I am going to get the SONY reader. It turns out that some titles on the SONY site are much cheaper than Books On Board. So format was not an issue.

But name was. I travel to many third world countries. The security people there are at times obnoxious. If they see a Kindle, a CyBook, a Bookeen etc they will panic with the name. But if they see SONY, they will be happier. SONY is an international name.

The fonts are OK.

The SONY is small enough to travel easily with.

Gomadic makes a charger for the SONY. I use a single charger to charge my cell phone, my PDA, my portable hard drive, and the SONY too.

So, it is the SONY.
