i switched from kindle to sony after realising that epub is a far superior format to .mobi. it allows for various neat stylistic layout features that Kindle / mobi cannot & will not ever be able to do.
Plus the sony is better for reading in bed - it lies more flat, maybe due to its metal case, and having touch screen for page flips & word look ups is so much better than kindle buttons.
I do miss the 5 way navigation of Kindle though - 1 press to skip forward / back a chapter on K whereas . on sony it's at least 5 moves - options - go to .. select toc menu , select chapter you want...
Kindle also has more format options - regular, condensed... and a range of line spacing options, but once I got used to Sony's fonts I was OK with not having that.
Kindle has proper portrait or landscape reading options. flip an epub to landscape orientation on the Sony & big chunks of text go walkabout - that's a shocking bug or feature!
