If weight is really important, then I would say get the Kobo. It just offers more value than the Sony. Reading on a 5 inch screen is really not a great experience (in my humble opinion). I always loved the form factor and quality of the Sony PRS-300, but the small screen and lack of features made me choose the Nook instead.

I still think the Nook WiFi offers the best value, but it is heavier than the others and might not be right for you. However, the Kindle is also really light and offers a lot more than the Kobo or Sony. You might want to handle one at Target and see what you think.

With all that said, in the end, price and weight seem to make the Kobo a good choice for you.

Edit: I take it back, after seeing the Pocetbook 360 on Youtube, it actually looks really cool. Sorry for the snap judgment! Pictures don't really do it justice.
