I'm genuinely interested because I like the look of SONY readers, but think the Kindle and nook feature sets might be more important to me. Having never used any of them, I don't really know.
Remember that snooty Kindle commercial -

"I paid more for these sunglasses" - translation, if you are the kind of trend conscious idiot who will pay 150 bucks for a pair of designer sunglasses to impress your friends, then we DEFINITELY want YOU as a customer.

Well, I guess I am NOT that person because I have already checked out and read about $450 worth of books, based on Amazon prices, and read them FREE from my local library using my Sony (something that is not even legally possible to do on the Kindle).
