Well, I had a Jetbook (which I sent in for the credit) and am currently using the Sony PRS-505.

I won't say that one is necessarily better than the other... each has its strengths and weaknesses.

The Jetbook's support for almost every major format, including mobi, .fb2, etc. was nice. Also the Jetbook's support for a folder structure was really nice for organizing books.

On the flip side, there is something really nice about E-Ink screens. It just feels more like you are reading from paper. This is not to bash the Jetbook screen which was nice. Of course the big difference was battery life. With the Sony, reading every day, you can go weeks between charges.

Of course the new Sony's have touch screens which makes them even nicer.
