I know your decision has been made for you already, but comparing the Kindle and Sony, the main factors to consider are:

Kindle - wi-fi, price
vs
Sony - build quality, epub support (public library), touchscreen

The relative importance of these features will determine which suits you. Both use the new Pearl screens (no glare on the touchscreen) and from what I've read the battery life is about the same. Note that a lot of PG books come in mobi format. I don't know about archive.org. btw, if you decide that a Sony is worth the extra cost, you can always return the Kindle.
