Just thinking about the cost and Kindle 3g with cover and power adaptor comes to 230$ and the Sony is 250$, again that extra inch on the screen is still tempting me and the other larger readers are all pretty expensive.
EDIT: The Nook is looking pretty good now as well. No keyboard and still has the good quality display?

I think the poor contrast and horrible screen glare (although not as bad as the PRS-600) make it a strain to read. In my humble opinion, it kind of defeats the purpose of eink which is supposed to provide a great paper-like reading experience. Contrast and clarity are very important. Also, screen glare makes it tough to read with a light source, and since the screen is not backlit...
The nook has an excellent display (although not as nice as the new Kindle 3) and I think a great interface (touchscreen vs physical keyboard).
