I have a Kobo Touch and have never owned any other brand so I can't compare that way. What I would say relative to your comment about the weight/feel is that to me the tether in the store makes a huge difference. In the store, the Kobo Touch feels clunky and somewhat unbalanced. The actual Kobo in use is really nicely balanced and light. I think in the specs the Sony maybe does have a slight weight advantage over the Kobo. I always tap to turn and I don't have my Kobo in front of me so I can't comment on the swipe, but there seem to be lots of people that use swipe.
