Well, that just goes to show that different devices appeal to different people. I too have owned both a Sony and an iLiad, and for my money the Gen3 "wipes the floor" with both. It is the only device out of the four which allows you to load your own fonts and fully supports font families. For me, that's an essential feature.
I completely disagree with your view that the firmware is "unfinished" - certainly it could be improved, but that's true for all the devices. The Gen3's Mobi Reader is way ahead of the iLiad's (why can't you display a book's cover picture on the iLiad?) and the mere fact that they do support the Mobi format put all the other devices ahead of the Sony for me.
Horses for courses, etc.
