I have owned two Sonys (505 and 300) and never had a single issue with either of them. They were both really well made and, if you avoided the Sony Library software on your computer, really easy to maintain with Calibre.
However, I have recently taken a Kindle 3 on test and, after a week of use, know that I will be keeping this and using it as my primary e-reader. I'm not in to playing games or listening to music on my e-reader, I just want to be able to read e-books comfortably and easily and the Kindle 3 does this really well.
The new Sonys have the improved screen as well and, were it not for the fact that I don't like touchscreen devices (a purely personal thing) I might not have moved away from Sony, but paying a premium price for a feature I don't like made no sense.
