In your case I would pick the pocketbook 360. It has a 5" screen like the 300 and includes a hard cover that stores at the back of the reader when you use the reader. Hard cover should be safer in your case. And even with the cover it weighs less than the other two, only 5.3oz (Sony 300 = 7.8oz and kobo = 7.05oz. For Sony and Kobo you would still have to buy a cover which would add even more weight.

You can get the pocketbook for $199 now. If you add the price for a cover for the other two the difference shouldn't be that great anymore. Plus the pocketbook has better firmware.
