I was hesitant to get the Sony too. But the recent price drops were enough to push me into trying it. It's a little more work than the Pocketbook to get the format right, yesterday I started a new book that had HUGE margins. If you use Calibre and know how to strip DRM, it's easy to fix, I just convert to LIT format and then back to EPUB. But I really do like the way EPUB displays books better than the FBReader, I just couldn't stand the page numbers. The first book I read on the Sony, I was able to fix the margin problem by using the "reduce margins" setting on the Sony.
I had the PRS-600 originally, and really didn't like it. The page turns were slow, the glare was awful, and the ADE implementation was clunky (I REALLY hated the page numbers on the side). This one has solved those problems. No more page numbers, the glare is the same as the Pocketbook, and the screen really is THAT MUCH better. No ghosting that I can see, much better contrast, and personally, I really like the touchscreen interface. No more scrolling through menus. Especially looking up a word in the dictionary, just double-tap, and there it is! Page turning is faster than the Pocketbook as well.
I had some concern with fingerprints on the screen, but I haven't really noticed. The worst problem is that when you do get something on the screen, you can't just wipe it off, or you end up turning the page.
