Kobo Touch or Sony T1 or another reader?

I will be buying a new Ereader within the next couple of weeks and I would be grateful for any advice. My partner already has a Kindle, which gives us access to all Kindle books and I have an Android Tablet PC with 7” screen and use it partly as an Ereader but of course it is much heavier than the Sony PRS-T1 or the Kobo Touch, which are the Ereaders which have interested me most so far. But which one would you advise me to choose?

These are: my bottom-line requirements:
It should be around 200g or less in weight with an e-ink 6” touch screen.
It needs to be relatively idiot-proof, reliable and easy to use.
I want to be able to download Ebooks I already own onto it. I have bought ebooks from both Amazon and Kobo and have a fair number of freebees.

I am British but live in Spain. Amazon only allow me to buy ebooks from the USA but I also want to be able to buy from the UK. The Kobo allows me to do this without any problem. I imagine the Sony T1 would too? I will be in the UK in December and will probably buy the Ereader there – this seems the cheapest option at the moment and also seems to help to ensure that I can download British as well as American books.

Thanks for your help.
