One consideration that no one's mentioned is organizational abilities on the reader. As I understand it, the Kindle and Nook both let you list by author, title, and maybe date added. The Sony collections, built from metadata provide an impressive ability to group books by type, series, etc. I like being able to carry lots of books on my reader, so being able to organize into collections or folders is a key requirement for me. Say what you like about the Sony readers, they have a nice user interface.
If you read books with table of contents or periodicals with links to articles, a touchscreen is much better than a keyboard for navigation. And speaking of navigation, swiping the screen, rocking a switch, or tilting the reader is better for my arthritic thumbs than pushing a button to turn pages. Alas, the PocketPro is the only one with a rocker and tilting the reader requires an accelerometer, missing in both the Sony and Kindle.
