I bought the Sony 5" touchscreen last week. I imported the Bitstream Vera Sans font I've been using on the Opus into the Sony but no matter how much I played with it, since there's only 5 font sizes in the Sony, I just didn't like it. The font itself was clearer on the Sony but felt like I was loosing too many words on the screen and it was always either too small for me or too big.

Another con for me on the Sony is collections - I couldn't do folders within folders like how I could with the Opus.

I did love the Sony's touch screen and dictionary (dictionary being the main reason why I bought it), but I ended up returning the Sony after 2 days. I'm sticking with my Opus until people start posting reviews of the Orizon. If the touchscreen is as good as the Sony's, I'm sold!
