Sony versus Kobo

Sorry for delay in getting back to thread. My camera went on strike and refused to upload to my Windows 7 box. I had to go find an xp box to get pix off.
Re the pix it is very hard to capture the screens I tried inside with flash and outside with sunshine but you can see for yourself its not the best of pictures.
I have used the Sony for a couple of weeks now and quite like it. I agree it is faster that Kobo but that is just price I guess. The Sony was NZ$ 400 the Kobo is NZ$240 so I would expect for the extra $160 to get better performance.
Kobo will no doubt keep upgrading their software I have already applied one update which improved the way it works.
So I like them both but really now want the Kobo colour reader it sounds pretty amazing
