However, I don't like reading PDFs on it and that's the one case where the Sony wins. I spent some time trying to get Calibre to convert the PDFs, but got poor results and gave up. I don't need to do anything in Calibre to format epubs and ereader files for the iphone.

I've read tons of eBooks on my first generation iPhone as well.
But I've found at least a 2nd argument against it: On my train ride of 4.5 hours to my employer's headquarters, battery always went dry. On any ePaper unit, I easily can do both ways on a single charge.
And, although I don't have any real problems with the smaller displays, I prefer the screen estate of 5" or even bigger units.
So I do, what many have discovered: I read Kindle books on my Kindles when at home. On the road, it depends on my luggage and the duration of the trip. Sometimes, iPhone4 is my only travel companion...
