Oh great! Looks like the Kobo won't be available in Europe till October.
According to this:

and this:

Kobo and Sony will be out at the same time!
That's great because now Kobo devs have a couple of months to meet or beat some cool, albeit, partially rumoured features of the Sony ereader.
Here's some of what I'd like implemented (not in any order of importance):
- Library lending per WiFi
- MS Word support (rumoured, but the older Sony's have it)
- WiFi download of
all supported formats, from any website
- more than a dozen dictionaries
- dictionary- and web-lookup of any word in any text
- access to googleBooks
- two finger pinch and zoom
- display rotation
- bookmarking
- highlighting
- annotations (handwritten and with the virtual keyboard)
- searching all annotations in the whole library
- hyperlinks
- full flexibility sorting of the users library
- user-defined collections
- and, of course, searching within the book
I know two months is a long time, but don't bite off more than you can chew. After all the new Sony won't just be available at the
same time, but also, apparently, at the
same PRICE!
