Thanks viviena.

The price is an issue, in that I don't think at the moment I can afford anything more than ~$200, which at least puts the nook in my price range (the only reason I didn't want a nook was because I thought it wouldn't take outside sources so cool!)

What is the size of the nook screen? Its the only one I've actually managed to get my hands on in life and the size of their screen is fine for me, though I don't imagine much smaller would be good.

Kobo is Borders? Or did I make that up? Doesn't effect my choice, just curious.

After looking into the three (Kobo, nook and the Sony line) the Kobo so far looks the most enticing, though I am leery of making purchases like that without having played around with it. Sony looks great but I'm just not sure about the price.

I'm not sure what Form Factor is. :-/

Also, they can all change the size of the text right? I have eye problems and thats most of the reason I wanted one in the first place. :P Weird I forgot to mention it.
