I just got a Sony 950 today when my Kindle died...and I'm absolutely loving it. The tradeoff for me was basically touch screen versus Text to Speech, and I went with the feature I'm planning on using every day (touch). I do miss is the lightweight feel of the Kindle a bit.
The interface is so much more intuitive and quick than the Kindle. As a former computer geek I couldn't believe how archaic the Kindle navigation was in some ways.
Wikipedia works well once you are connected to Wifi -- no 3G access, I'm pretty sure. Double click the word, click on the icon with a globe and the letter A (no idea why A).
Collections based on tags from Calibre seemed pretty automatic to me. It's true that tags can get out of hand if you download them from the web with the book info; I just prune mine regularly and it's not a problem.
Fonts and less choice of text sizes were a bit of a concern with mine too, but so far everything else far outweighs not having easily changeable fonts out of the box. Still it would be nice to have something between Small and Medium.
