I use my Pocket EZ-Reader as my daily reader; I love the 5" screen and page turning buttons in three different places so I can read it with whichever hand I have available while standing on the train.
I keep my Sony PRS-505 around because it reads RTF; the PEZ support for non-ebook formats (doc, html, txt) is atrocious--it sometimes hyphenates single-syllable words in the middle, and the formatting's awful. Also, once in a while the larger screen size really helps. (I've got a collection of xkcd comics saved out; they show up fine on the Sony and are too hard to read on the PEZ.) If I could get a new device with a 5" screen, easy navigation (which I consider both my current devices to have; the Sony is better) and *good* support for epub, pdf and at least one easily-editable format, I might give them both up.
My husband has a Sony 300. I've considered getting one. (Not the 350; I don't want a touchscreen.) I got the PEZ instead because I thought it supported HTML. It displays HTML, sort of; I wouldn't call it "support." I'm leery of the other devices--Pocketbook, Opus, Hanvons--and wouldn't be willing to pay money for one before seeing it in action; the PEZ was something of a disappointment. It's exactly what I wanted for epub reading, and it's nice that it covers mobi as well, but it didn't live up to my hopes, in several areas.
