Newbie here looking for a little advice. Pretty much sold on the Kobo, but not completely.

First, I'll use the device primarily while on back-country backpacking trips. I don't know if this has been covered here before, but there are those of us in the backpacking community known as "gram weenies." Believe it or not, the Kobo actually appeals to me because it's 3/4 ounce lighter. Every gram counts to a backpacker. Other considerations:

--The Kobo has 1GB internal memory, the Sony 512MB.
--The Kobo has a slightly larger screen.
--The Kobo has an SD card expansion slot.
--Borders has an ongoing deal to get a $20 gift card along with their "Border's Bucks."
--The Sony has the reputation and support of a well-established name brand.
--The Sony supports more formats, including the LRF format in which I've already down-loaded hundreds of books (of course, I know I can easily reformat them to Epub for the Kobo).
--Both units sell for about the same price here in the U.S.

I don't care about wireless capabilities, I'm not going to listen to music or watch videos; I'm only going to read books. Am I missing anything? Thanks for the help.
