That's all well and good, and based on your stated preference for PDFs (unfathomable, but whatevs) the PRS series is almost certainly a better fit for you. Just don't toss around red herrings about storage.
While I haven't used either reader, it seems like the Sony set is better for PDF handling, supporting more file types, and annotation. That last may come down to preference, given that we haven't heard much about the new Nook's annotation, but reviews of the keyboard have been very positive, so it depends on your preferred input method and whether you want your notes as RTFs.
The Nook has price, speed, limited wireless capability, an on-device store, syncing with mobile devices, and social features. Someone mentioned gmail, facebook and twitter, but I'm pretty sure the STR does not have them, beyond the sharing features. It does have generally more powerful and flexible hardware, which may mean more capability down the road.
As for form, comfort, and build quality, opinions differ.
All of the above are legitimate reasons to prefer one device over the other, but it comes down to priorities and lifestyle, which vary wildly.
