Even with the buttons and the new screens I wouldn't get a Sony. They are too expensive and the only one with 3G is way too expensive. My Brother has a Sony 505 and has not been happy with the bookstore or Sony's support for the e-readers. He wanted the more open reader but is now regretting he didn't get a Kindle.
I know that there are folks who love their Sony's and I am am thrilled for them. The e-reader is a tool and you should buy the tool that you are most comfortable with. If the Sony came down in price and offered 3G on all their machines, I would think about getting one for the library but I doubt that that is going to happen.
My cell phone is touchscreen and I still use the buttons whenever I can. I just don't like seeing stuff on my screen.
