Device: (prospective) kobo touch
You say you like more formats. Maybe you get ebooks from other cultures? The sony has western european foreign language translation dictionaries. The kobo doesn't. Maybe the kobo will and maybe it won't, eventually.

The sony touchscreen is smoother and more responsive (just my impression and maybe I'm a poor observer). The visual quality of the eink pearl is the same sony/kobo.
The software speed is difficult to say. But some taps will not be caught by the kobo, while they will ALWAYS be caught by the sony.

Nook can be "rooted" if you have courage and then it can REALLY handle lots of formats.

I'd like to say go for kobo: cheap, hence democratically empowering, simple, nifty. But the fact is it is a very competitive market right now in features, despite price differences.
