Not a single one has said they'd rather read on the Palm -- not even jokingly. None of them has so much as hesitated even an instant over the question.

Agreed. I wouldn't mind the larger screen and better reading experience of the Sony.
But if I did the same comparison, then explained what I did on the PDA aside from reading books that I
couldn't do on the Sony, and what I paid for my PDA vs what a Sony costs, I think the equation would change dramatically.
It's all a matter of what you need to do with your device, and what you are willing to carry around. I happily carry a cell phone and a PDA. I won't carry a cell phone, PDA,
and reader. And none of the combo devices that are cell phone and PDA work for me -- too much of what I do requires a bigger screen than any such device has.
