On an ePub device, you have to load the book via a PC and it's a lot less convenient.
As far as the actual readers go, both Sony Readers and Kindles are excellent; I'm sure you'd be delighted with either.

This is an important point, and one that can be overlooked in straight device vs. device comparisons. E-readers don't exist in a vacuum. They are useless unless there is a way to get content on the device, so it's important to consider the device's infrastructure as well as the device when deciding what to purchase.
