I had picked up a Kobo WiFi for $69 at the closing Borders near me (they are $59 now BTW). Today I picked up the Sony Pocket edition for $115+change from the same Borders (40% off).
The title presents my dilemma. What do the mobilereaders suggest?

I like the Kobo. It is a step up from my old Sony Touch (PRS600). It has a bigger screen aand is quite light.
The Sony has a smaller screen and no SD card support, but its screen is even better (or so I am told) than the Kobo. Its metal body is also sturdier and I believe that 2GB is more than enough for ebooks.

Please help me resolve this dilemma.
