My first ereader was the Boox 60 and thought it was great that I could actually use a font size I could see. The screen was pretty bad though - dark grey letters on a light grey screen is difficult. The software was pretty buggy too. The other big problem was that I actually injured my thumb on it! The buttons needed a lot of pressure to work. It does have a touch screen but you need to use a pen and it hurt my thumb to even hold that.
Then I got my Sony 950 and to me it has the best of everything - easy to use touch screen, easy to use dictionary, great contrast, bigger screen, lighter weight. When I have to use the buttons it doesn't take a lot of pressure. I can even make the contrast better using the Adjust View function. Expensive, but worth every penny.
Then I recently got the K3 3G and I am glad I didn't have to pay for it - it was free thru a credit card offer. Every time I picked it up I was turning pages because that's where I normally hold my Sony. At least those buttons are easy to push, all the other buttons take too much pressure. The menus are also weird - I couldn't find things because on some menu screens you have to hit menu again to get more options. If this had been my second reader I probably would like it better, but the Sony spoiled me. I do like the font on the kindle better and I can also get rid of margins and change justification by a simple file edit - I have to convert my epubs to do that for the Sony.
I also occasionally read on my Motorola Atrix phone - it's good for in bed because it's backlit, but I still have to turn the brightness all the way down even in night mode.
So the Sony is my choice for primary reading and I have the K3 in case anything happens to the Sony.
