2. it's definitely quicker to choose from a list using touch screen than using keyboard. however, Kindle has text search for book titles/authors so it's probably not as important
3. depends on your beliefs. also, if you read popular books you generally don't have to look outside kindle store so it's not a big problem.
5. nope, B&N's DRM is not compatible with ADEPT DRM (used by Sony).
6. yes, touch screen is definitely more convenient. also, Sony has freehand annotation and sketching which is impossible on Kindle.

Other advantages of Sony:
1) much better support for PDF, with pan and zoom
2) native support for RTF
3) lending library ebooks (mostly limited to U.S.)
4) many shops that offer compatible EPUB books (see inkmesh.com)
5) more built-in dictionaries
