Well, not really. Seems like the new kobo with IR touch and pearl screen is very close to the more expensive wifi-less 6" Sony. I can see some people may prefer the kindle still because of the amazon store or they like non touch. This kobo seems to take dead aim at the Sony touch, even if that is not its target.

Of course the Sony may have better firmware. But from the videos i've seen, the Sony UI is over complicated and takes too many steps to do simple things.
